Repair your car's broken bleeder hose to reduce gas consumption

I recently noticed the gas consumption on my car was getting much worse, so I looked under the hood and realized that the bleeder hose from my air filter had snapped off, and the engine was breathing raw, winter air! I decided in order to improve my gas mileage, save some money, and also help save the environment by avoiding more plastic waste, I needed to hack it better! So I put some green sugru around the base of the snapped part and moulded it to the bigger housing. My gas mileage has normalised, so my wallet and the environment is happier now! Matt, Ontario.
