If anything, these devices will cause the computer to read lean and have the injection system feed more fuel in the charge resulting in less mileage and poor performance. If you need more fuel mileage, change your driving habits. Learn to coast to a stop, don't be the first away from a light and keep the tachometer below 2000 rpms when gaining speed. Be more fluid in your action on the gas, do things in moderation when stopping or starting.

I have one ( Tornado ) in my stock 99 F150 ( 5.4 of course, is there any other motor?
) and I ran a 14 flat @ 101 mph. I also picked up 10 mpg.When they say supercharge your truck for 50 bucks, they really mean it!
