All else being equal, they'll probably help a very small amount. Probably not enough to register above the normal tank to tank variation you'll see.

Honda Canada added the hybrid wheels & deck spoiler on all its LX 5-speeds to nudge the fuel economy a tiny amount past a threshold that qualified them for a rebate.

see: Aero differences between my LX Civic and the Hybrid...mod inspiration?
