Thanks.
I don't pay close attention to my mileage so I wouldn't know. If anything, it might be worse but more due to my driving habits... I press the gas a bit more spiritedly because I like the sensation of extra punch from the throttle. I thought I read in the engine mods section that it preserves the stock a/f ratio and doesn't run lean (that's also why people said it won't benefit much from a tune). If it provides more air, then it must burn more fuel to maintain the same a/f ratio. That extra kick on throttle input is the result.
