Default Bolt on's and MPG???

Do common bolt on's like intake, TB, MAFS, lid.....or others cause worse gas mileage?

If anything most bolt on's will increese your MPG's
Like a Lid, filter and intake will help you'r motor to breathe more and run leaner using less gas and making more power

I put one thing on at a time, LS6 intake-increase, Ported TB-increase, Headers-Increase, SLP LM-increase, 228/.588 112 cam- decrease, lost all gains from all other mods. But it was worth it

how many MPGs did you get from all of your bolt-ons duda? I'm hopefully getting an LS1 soon. I don't mind paying more gas for more horsepower, but I'd still be interested in getting more MPGs and I don't think I'll do anything beside bolt-ons for awhile.
