I found a I use a *fraction* more fuel compared to the standard filter, if you click the Fuelly.com banner in my sig then you can see from the bar graph the fuel consumption change from when I put it in in August.
I found the car drives a lot smoother, there is no power difference that I can feel.
I thought about doing the behind the grill air feed thing, but again didn't think it would make any difference, if anything if the engine was getting "colder" air I thought it would only use more fuel...

fraction more ? madness though it would bring it down abit after all the cooler the engine the less fuel will be burnt !

Can't arue with the figures, I put it in and changed nothing about my driving style and it does use more fuel....

no colder the air the more dense it becomes which means theres more air, which means more fuel needs to be added to get the fuel mixture to stochametric (14.7-1 ratio) for correct buring, then hense more power but you'll not feel the defference

NGK iridium plugs are supposed to improve economy.

Not sure if they do ones for mk4 ibiza though..

I tried iridium plugs in my 1.2 and a green panel filter, I also changed the fuel filter when I did a service and put some injector cleaner in the fuel tank, the total bill was expensive and the results hardly noticeable. I think the 1.2 is pretty good on fuel anyway
