I thought that if intakes work, they provide more air flow to the engine for which the ECU, in turn, orders up more fuel to keep the mixture from leaning out under the added air assault, resulting in worse gas mileage, not better.
Does what he told me make any sense??

Or it could be leaning out causing better gas mileage and some more power. If I were him, maybe a baseline dyno just to make sure everything is in check.
