I highly doubt you'll see an mpg increase with this mod. The general practice is warm air for better mileage in gasoline engines, not colder air. This is especially the case with carburated vehicles which specifically warm the intake manifold to promote vaporization which helps fuel efficiency.

I used to make some of these for the smaller Toyota engines. I specifically didn't install them on the Paseo for this reason.
