Default Pulstar / Air intake

Just installed a set of Pulstar be1i spark plugs.
Also Air Intake Hose Kit: TOP SPEED PRO-1 EPDM 4 Layer/ 5mm Wall .

Gas mileage has gone up +2mpg, feeling a little more torque.

2002 Porsche 911

I got 19.5 mpg around town with new Bosch plugs. Checked today with the Pulstar be1i spark plugs and was getting 23.5mpg. Also my Oil pressure looks a little higher. I will check again today, running a little harder.

Changing plugs or air box/intake should not affect oil pressure.

What are you using to determine your gas mileage?

That is a clean engine. Boy, I should have kept the Airbox from my 997.

Have you felt difference due to the plugs or the Air Intake? or both?

Yes, I know but the oil pressure looks a half bar higher. It's been in the low 40s so getting cold air but didn't feel diff before. The plugs are what has made the diff, will not go back to Bosch.

Using the OBC to check mpg, speedo is 2mph off but ave mpg is consistent.
