Re usable Air Filter

Thanks for the link.

Here is another test for you.

In my search on filters for my 2017, 3.5 I found this and some other threads and this test.

Yes, it was not done on a Tacoma but still an air flow, dirt trapping, etc test.

Just ran the last tank of fuel with a $60.00 K&N. Noticed no difference. Maybe even less MPG.
I certainly didn't like the low performance when comes to trapping dirt in the test in the link.
aFe (advanced Flow engineering) wasn't much better.
I put the OEM filter back in this morning with a fuel fill up and watching the performance #'s again

I replaced my paper filter with a re-usable one,

The paper filter appeared to be new and clean. Running the exact same route and filling at the same pump at the same gas station, with the paper filter I got 16.5 mpg. With the reusable filter, plus a passenger and a box of stuff in the bed that probably weighed 30 pounds, 18 mpg including some idle time and running the A/C for about 5 minutes (had to wait in the truck in driving rain for my wife for about an hour...got very humid so I ran the A/C)
