    cold air is better than warm air...

    RAM air = bad MPG

    cold air = GOOD MPG

    Anything you do to make the engine work easier will increase mileage, not necessarily a big difference but it will increase mileage. Of course, like everyone else has said, driving style definitely affects this. Think of it as your engine trying to breath through a straw, the engine has to work much harder, increase airflow and you would have more mpg, depending on driving style.
