Benefits of 1 inch lowering on 1990 Integra?

I found some used lowering springs for my Integra for around $80. They lower the car 1 inch in the front and 1.5 inches in the rear. I get that any lowering can be helpful, but I am wondering if this is too little of an amount to make it worth the effort? I am sure if I wait long enough I could find some that lower it more, but can anyone give me an idea of what kind of results I would see in increased FE on this car with a 1 inch drop? 1%? 5%? 0.5% etc. Thanks!
