CAI & fuel milage

Has anyone who's installed a CAI experienced an increase in fuel milage?

a cai makes the cars computer to run a little richer. it will not help your gas milage. i saw a decrease by about 1.5 on my z28. but it does make you go faster.

Theoretically you can see an increase, although I didn't see any change when I installed mine. The key word is "theoretically"

actually i gained about 1.5-2 mpg when i gutted my air box so i would think an aftermarket intake would do the same.

I saw a very slight gain, but I think it may have been from changing my driving habits. Can't go fast anymore, too many tickets.
