Change in fuel economy with CAI / Tune?

Not that fuel economy is something that any of us should really be complaining about

I'm just curious whether there was a significant change either way for anyone after installing a CAI and Tune. Right now, I average about 18 MPG (manual calculation) in mostly city / around town driving. I'm expecting that to drop quite a bit after I first install my CAI / Tune due to my anticipated lead foot, but should I get around the same MPG? Little less? Little more?

I took my first long trip (268 miles one way) after I had the CAI, tune and exhaust system on board. I got almost 28mpg. Local was around 19 mpg. Since Ethonal has been added my around town has dipped a bit - 17+. I'm going on the same trip in about a month so I'll let you now how that one works out. Really depends on how much you like to hear the roar...
