Reduce car fuel consumption

I recently noticed the fuel 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 mileage, save some money, and also help save the environment by avoiding more waste, I needed to hack it better! So I put some sugru around the base of the snapped part and moulded it to the bigger housing. My fuel mileage has normalised, so my wallet and the environment is happier now! Matt, Ontario.
