sounds like your brother is full of crap, and you should know better than to believe youtube.
i had a 02 i bought new base 2.0 5spd and it always got 31-32 until i bought a k&n drop in and removed the silencer in the fender then it got a couple more. i am usually able to get one or two more than the rated mpg, 38-40 would be almost 25% over the factory rating
