on modern fuel injection systems, air filters don't directly affect mileage. the engine will keep the mixture at the programmed ratio regardless of the filter, but a clogged filter will decrease power thus forcing the driver to push the pedal harder to get the same power.

air filter relates to performance and fuel economy is a side effect.
