With a dense (cool) air charge you can expect a more complete burn of the fuel charge which will increase fuel mileage, but not by much.

Couldn't agree more. I dropped in the large Airraid filter in the stock housing, removed the baffle screen in the MAF sensor, changed the accordion coupler out to a smooth larger diameter coupler, added the Air Raid intake tube. Every vehicle is different but I have documented a full 1mpg increase over stock.
