This, somewhat.
The effect of lowering on your suspension has a LOT to do with the geometry and type (Strut vs. double A-arm vs. straight axle, etc.) Cars with good geometry can be lowered a TON and still have very good handling (or better due to stiffer springs and lower CG).
But basically... lower = lower CdA, so its better for economy.
