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??
no, he either lied to you or had a tailwind of 40+ mph the whole way.
