Actually, the $55 Heavy Duty air filter is currently on sale for $12.95.  I
can't say I'd buy it for the $55 the dealer gets, but for $12.95 it's a
bargain and certainly worth a couple extra bucks compared to the
standard-duty version.  It will provide significantly better filtering
capability for not a lot more money.
