The filter was extremely dirty, and I assume it was the factory filter. Even the new filter is a fairly dense filter, but the old showed almost no transparency or shine thru with a work light behind it.
As for verification, SID only. I drive a pretty regular route with my job from KC to St Louis. I was avg. 30.6 both ways pre filter change, and I've been averaging 32.4 since. And I say both ways because my car boosts harder (further into the red) and gets better gas mileage on a Kansas City fillup than a St. Louis fillup due to the reformulated gas. I typically see a 1 mpg drop on stl gas hwy.
