Any time you can make your engine breathe better you will increase gas mileage as well as performance.
But beware. A friend of mine added several aftermarket mileage boosters. Picked up 4% with air cleaner, 16% with an overdrive, 12% with an ignition change, another 10% with exhaust modifications, etc. Now, if he drives more than a couple of miles, the fuel tank overflows.

Yes. But don't listen to the people that claim they get 3 or more miles per gallon because it's all lies. It does help air flow and that means horse power gain not gaining a lot of MPG. You might gain some milage per gal. but a better estimate is about half to 3 quarter miles per gallon. Your engine will love it so it's a smart move. With other modifications such as a better exhaust, performance chips, keeping the carb or injections clean will add to the gain of MPG in the area of 2 to 3 miles PG more.

yeah, it improves air flow and that helps with gas mileage, it will be very unnoticeable but it might help in the long run, but it also gives a little power boost

Slightly. It allows for better airflow, which can cause better MPG, but better airflow is also very good. It might up you 1-2mpg depending your car.
