That's because the car is well maintained and set up.
I have never complained of low mpg and I try to maintain my car the best I can with a knowledge I have and the help of the guys in the forum.
Nor am I against buying a new maf. I just don't want to buy a maf and then still have the problem. And maybe down the line realise it was a pin size hole on a hose afterall. One thing is to load the parts cannon with 50€ projectiles... If it's not that, well, you now have a brand new part. Another is to load it with a 300 to 500 bill. I would rather troubleshoot and replace cheap parts first.
