If you planned on getting them anyway, it's worth while, and the MPG is an added benefit.

It's alot harder to change the speed of mass than to maintain speed of mass, which means that lighter rims will, in effect, save your suspension, brakes, and make it so you take less time/fuel to accelerate.

It's not just an MPG thing, it's the cumulative addition that makes things worth while.
