   Keep a look out in the for sale section.
   
   They wont drink your fuel. it depends on how you drive.
   
   They only 'drink more fuel' because people like the sound so let it rev higher to hear it more.
   
   whilst steady driving the car will use less fuel to maintain the same speed giving an increase in mpg

   Its not going to make alot of difference on performance on a 1.1. I had a k&n on my 1.1 last year, just more noise, no more power.
   TBH i think it was a bit of a waste of money.
   but its up to you

    ive got a saxo 1.1 with a pipercross air filter on it, it sounds really cool and gives it a littlr bit of extra go (i think) lol and i doesnt drint the fuel too much, im still getting returns of about 35mpg but i do drive quite aggressively.
