To Catch or not to Catch (can)

[HemiHearse]

Along w/ changing out my CAI, I noticed that my catch can has only picked up about 2 Tbl spoons of oil in 7186 miles. I have the air compressor filter and realize that the filter in it just isn't suited to oil collection.
I also can't get past the idea that my gas motor needs oil to run. I have read many posts on here about people pouring oil out of their intake manifolds.
I cleaned my throttle body out and the gunk in there was astounding.
So, I removed the catch can and took a 5/8" bolt and plugged the intake port. Then I installed a Purolater filter #5851947 into the PCV side.
Now for the good part. I picked up 2mpg this morning.
I am going to check this out, but was hoping somebody else on here has done something similar and found any difference in their mpg.
I know HAL has control, and figure he has to work magic with the Air/Fuel/Oil mixture, so I'm gonna make his job easier and just let him do what Holley has been doing for decades, Air/Fuel only.

P.S. cheap catch can for sale. See next pic.

wtf? dude you put that on backward, right now you have no PCV system. the manifold sucks it in from that little canister dealy. Now you have no suck.

I went through a similar thought process and came up with a slightly different solution (although I priced out some similar coalescing filters for compressed air)
