Autospeed.com did a nice set of articles on negative boost in the intake. If I remember right the air filter was responsible for 7% of the restriction of the whole intake. Even if a K&N would halve this restriction, the impact on fuel economy of an hypermiled vehicle would be lost in the tank to tank mpg variability noise.
