Default K&N Airfilter

has anyone used a K&N air filter in their volvo's and had any increase in fuel mileage? I've used them in a few vehicles and seen improvements, but i wanted to check if any of you have any input. We've got the xc70 with the 3.2.........after 820 miles we are getting about 15.5 around town, and 21.5 on the highway(right on with the new mpg estimates) let me know. and as always, drive safely, wear your seatbelt, even though you drive a volvo and probably don't need it.

I have K & N in all my vehicles. I've never done a before and after because as soon as I get the vehicle I change to the K & N.

I had one in my 850 saw a small increase in throttle response and MPG. But not much, maybe 1-2 MPG extra. But that was me, in your case it could be different.
