Hello to everyone!

I'm a noob and as early as now I'd like to ask an apology in case this opinion of mine would tend to be foolish or plain dull.

As many might be guessing right now, yup, I'm one of "fortunate" optra owners in terms of overall performance of the car. The indicated problems in some posts here at the forums, luckily, I have not experienced after driving my car for 35000 km. now.

Service was nice and pulido naman yung mga check-ups. And if GM's service center would be compared to Citimotors Makati (Yes, I know it's like comparing an apple to an orange, but, it's just an example), my thumbs up would be for GM. Not to mention the weird problems arising part by part after you bring your Mitsubishi unit to Citimotors.

Anyways, going to the point. I've read about some gas consumption theories, and share ko lang po sana itong nanotice kong difference with my Mitsubishi MX 2003 CVT Lancer and Chevrolet Optra 1.6 M/T's engine. Yup, impractical comparison again but this is just how I see it, being an owner of both vehicles.

Nahalata ko lang po kasi na may air intake modding tong Lancer ko while the Optra doesn't (both are complete stock). I know it's a bit absurd, pero pano po kaya kung palagyan ang Optra ng ganun? I'm pretty sure it will help in better air intake, di po ba?

Eto po ung pics:



Then, kung aprubado po ito... ang sunod na tanong eh.... san kaya pwede ipagawa ito??? Nagtanong na po kasi ako sa Evangelista and unfortunately di nila alam kalikutin ung makina ng sasakyan kesyo US made daw. Casa di ko pa nachecheck.

Would really appreciate all your opinions on this. It COULD be a solution to my dilemma with this vehicle's gas consumption problem. Thanks po!
