Isn't it more likely that better airflow would deacrease the gas mileage a bit? My reasoning is that fuel is injected based on how much air is entering the combustion chamber. So less air leads to less fuel. (If the FI syistem is workign properly.) So a freer-flowing air filter increases the amount of air getting in, which leads to more fuel being used. And that gets you better performance. Difference shouldn't be horribly dramatic, I don't think.

So there it is: NAPA Gold Air Filters for better gas mileage!! (That part was a joke...I think.)
