Hi, I'm new to the forum and not a big enthusiast, just trying to get some advice on increasing mileage. I'm averaging 16MPG right now. My father has a friend that wrote me a note which I will paste below. I don't know if he is talking about LR3s or not because I can't find any info on these upgrades on the web or on this forum:

Here’s the info for your car:
#1 Replace the Cold Air Intake – K&N Air System (@ $300) – Apparently an easy fix that you can do yourself
#2 Replace the exhaust system with a Barla or Dynaflow (cheaper) system (@ $300 to $500). This would have to be done by a shop. Range Rover puts in a super heavy system that puts a lot of back pressure on your engine.
#3 Put in a Computer Chip to calibrate the system. (@$50 to $500 at any auto parts store). This is the last thing to do as the other two will affect what the chip reads. This you can put in yourself.
My friend said he has done this with 4 Land Rovers and has increased mileage from 16 to 24 mpg.

Thanks for any advice!
