The reason the gas mileage is better is because it sucks in hot air. If you live in a winter climate have you ever wondered why you use more fuel in the winter? Cool dense air near ambient temps will always make more power
Some people just want the ease of it...and the warranty...or the name brand...or just don't posses the raw mechanical skills you do.
