Yep. Funny you should ask, because I just filled up and was pleasantly surprised to discover that I got 16.8mpg my last tank. That might not sound so great, but consider that I was getting around 14.7mpg before the upgrades (I have a lead foot). Also consider that I did something like 8 WOT dyno pulls on the past tank of gas, not to mention drove pretty hard for a couple of days after installing the intakes because I wanted to make sure the ECU 'learned' the new mod. All in all, when I drive around 'normally', I have to use less throttle to get the same acceleration pre-mods, hence the fuel savings.
