Question:

Will a cold air intake help save gas?

If i install a cold air intake on my nissan altima will it give me more gas mileage than it already does?

Answer:

No. Just so you know all vehicles come with a CAI from the factory. It's just plastic and has a convenient replaceable air filter. The after market shiny chrome ones don't do anything for power or mileage and the oil on the cleanable filters migrates to the MAF sensor wires and ruins the expensive MAF sensor. Leave it alone.
Hi what are you a mental case how can sucking cold air in be making it more fuel efficient. what a lame brain idea that one is. cold air being less dense will suck more fuel in with it causing a lower MPG. some hair brain ideas some young have about this one.
Nope. Your car already has a cold air intake from the factory, that's specifically tuned to that engine, Replacing it with some random piece of pipe may even decrease your economy by messing up the readings from the airflow sensors in the intake.
