Same with mine... cleaning the intake made no difference in FE. What made a huge difference for me is getting updated nozzles / injectors. Could be because the old nozzles were not flowing as well, but putting new larger nozzles improved my freeway FE from ~28MPG to ~48MPG... huge difference!

I'm sure it wouldn't have made anywhere near as much difference if my current nozzles didn't have ~300K miles on them.
