does adding an intake really give you more mpg?

Hey guys, I'm new to these forums and my car is all stock except for some tint work and a mugen shift boot. I also have all-weather floor mats, courtesy of the dealership I have a SSM GD3 btw. Anyways, I've always thought about adding an intake/exhaust but ultimately decided against it since the hp gains seemed minimal and I'd accepted that my car was going to be slow unless I go FI or something. So I've been saving up money to upgrade my suspension, but while reading these forums I read somewhere that a member actually experienced more mpg with an aftermarket intake installed. If thats true, I may just get one since I've always enjoyed the gentle roar of my friend's intake on his prelude (i forget which brand it is). Also, I live in CA, and it doesn't rain that much, so would it be a problem having a CAI? I know theres the issue of hydrolocking, but i doubt there'd be a flood or anything....
