Yes, many ecomodders have tested cold vs hot air intakes and almost all found that the latter is better for fuel economy. CAI gives more power, but at the cost of more fuel*. There are scores of threads about CAI vs WAI. There are also lots of threads on preheating fuel, so no reason to repeat all of their info here.
*) This is true only for gassers. Diesels like cold intakes for both power and FE.
