About 2%, according to the wiki: Grill block partial or full.

If you still want cool air for performance every now and then, then maybe a dual air intake? One warm, one cold, and you choose which is open with a switch. Fuel efficiency: WAI with blocked IC. Performance: CAI plus open IC block. Also helps when the engine starts to overheat.
