It depends on the FI system. On a carbureted engine
if you block off the air intake you get crap mileage
because the mixture goes rich.

My dad had one of those. Ew.

And I'm getting 30% more mileage since I installed one of those "fuel
atomizer" magnets on the gas line. Now all my gas molecules get broken
up so they burn better and they're all aligned correctly as well. It's a
miracle of modern technology! Of course if the car manufcturers hadn't
bought the patent of the 100 mpg carburetor and killed Danny Casolaro
to supress the invention we'd all be getting 100mpg, even more if we
used Nology Hotwires, Splitfire plugs, fake-fur steering wheel covers
and those colored neon lights that you put under the car!!
