I kinda question the first one - air filter. That was true in the days of carbureted cars as it could affect the air/fuel ratio. I know my '67's MPG would take a dive when the filter got dirty. But I'm not sure as that's true for modern computerized cars that measure actual air flow.

If your air filter gets really bad then it's still true. Just means you can go longer between changing the air filter.

Rental Question

Getting a rental for ski season.

I've googled the interior dimensions, but every site I've found only gives measurements in terms of volume. Does anyone know whether the rear cargo space (with seats down) is long enough to fit snowboards. Need at least 160cm (63").
