Message	Yes, I agree that the car will run rich for an instant after your BOV's bleed off the air, but that amount of time is such a small percentage of your driving time that it won't be noticeable, with other factors easily having more effect. The BOV's only open for a second or two, it won't throw off the mixture for that long. When I installed mine I noticed absolutely no difference in mileage. But if you want more money in your pocket, spending $300+ on a mod that you don't really need probably isn't a good idea anyway.
