Dirty/clogged air filters not only harm fuel economy, they can starve the motor for air and that's not good.

I change my air filters in the box once a year (with every oil change).

I'm not concerned about the fuel economy nearly as much as I want to treat my motor to big gulps of fresh, filtered air so I can keep it happy for many, many years. :dance:

So, I change my air filter and pollen filter annually with the oil change. Since the air filter is only changed once per calendar year, I don't mind spending ten bucks more on a factory filter vs. an oil-based aftermarket unit.
I have yet to find a filter that flows more than a K&N. (i do clean it, just not change it ) Run them in every car I own.
