Hi, Out with the old and in with the new can't hurt
I replaced my MAF and noticed less need to rev from stop to go, must help with consumption a little don't you think. When inspecting the old MAF and the new one i noticed a little reduction in the diameter of the wire connected to that resistor that's on there, maybe caused by corrosion or just wear from the air passing threw, that must have an negative effect on the resistor IMO.
Just my 2 Cents
