Just after trying everything out to get to kno what is causing my 9.5-11 MPG City and my 15 MPG HW, I was at an electric shop to fix an issue with one of my windows where I saw they had K&N filters (not the CAI Kit, just the plain E-1009 filter) and it was around 120 US$ with tax and customs, I checked on the forums and saw it is the best fit and got it installed, when I installed the nigative cord and started the car did not get any deferent feeling, when I hit the road it was a totally deferent car :D
The Avg MPG stayed on 0.0MPG, I guess because the power was disconnected and the PCM is still learning, I will not worry about that now, the good part, my range moved from 230 KM to 312 KM, that is what I call an improvements (not a full tanks, but the change is welcomed)

Will see where is this going to end, even if I do not get an increase in MPG, I am still happy with the new powerfull feeling I got from the pedal and the better response.

By the way, the issue I went to solve for the window, on of the driver side controls opens the window but does not close it, the passanger have to worry about this, is this common, any quik fix or shall I get the control button replaced?

could not sleep without testing what my new MPG looked like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 18.9 :yes: MPG 80% Highway 20% city, what else can I ask for,,,,,,,,,, looks like I have to redefine a blocked air filter,

guys, what should be my next step to improve my MPG:undecided , tune seems to be not an easy thing to get from the states, I would love to have the PCM4LESS Tune, but tried to buy it several times and every time I hit a wall, last time Pay Pall did not verify a Jordanian Credit Card

Thanks

Wow .... I don't know much about the international shipping stuff but I'm sure some of the other guys in your area have dealt with it before. (It's silly enough to Canada)

See if you can contact one of the guys and find out what they did? The tune is the way to go for sure!

the cost for shipping from PCM4LESS was only 35US$, the last issue I had was having to go through PayPal for payment, Jordan, being in the Middle East, with the good reputation we have over here, does not seem to be one of PayPal's favorites, I had to go through so many verification steps that I gave up after so many screens and checks and so on,,, will do one more try after Kelly gets back from the holidays and try to get this deal done,
Thanks

Did you try linking your checking account to your paypal? Try that. Maybe get one of your relatives with paypal send you $500 or something and you can pay them with a check :undecided
