Myth: Not to get it wrong – a dirty air filter is not ideal for car health. Yes, cleaning out your air filter will increase your engine’s overall performance. However, it ultimately doesn’t make much difference to your fuel economy itself.
It boils down to the fuel injector again. Whereas old school car engine technology meant that the air filter was essential for ensuring the right amount of oxygen was combined with fuel to get your engine running, fuel injectors now sense the oxygen to fuel ratio – regardless of how clean the filter is.
A clean air filter means good vehicle performance, but doesn’t directly influence your fuel economy.
