Saying you'll get better mileage is more based on how your car is running now and obviously driving habits. If you're running fairly rich always I'd say you'll probably see a decent increase in mileage, how much though would vary on how lean. The joy of fuzzy numbers.
well look at it this way. a power adder is to actually increese volumetric eff. so if tuned right a boosted engine should in theroy make more power per air/fuel put in, but in practice you have to add more fuel to the more air........ so i dont know or care at this point cus im not boosted yet and i am jelious!!!! now i am gonna go pout!!!!!

I'm assuming that the current setup is a 'safe' tune, and is on the rich side. So, a better tune may be more efficient; i.e.: better mileage. The complicating factor is that I may tend to put my foot into it more, 'cause it has more ponies. On the other hand, if it makes more power with less fuel, I won't have to step on the accelerator as hard to get the same amount of thrust.
Oh yea, I almost forgot: No pouting on public forums!
