Default RE: Increase MPG with a CAI?

i went from 13 mpgs to 10.9 then my next tank i kept a light foot on the accelerator and wound up averaging 12.3...for the extra 1.4 mpg's i'm going to drive it the way i like it. I live in brooklyn, new york so even the highways on my way to school are at a stand still all the time between construction and rush hour. Residentially there is a stop sign or red light on every block or some who can't drive which brings everything to a stand still. When I'm on Staten Island and all of the lights are green I see about 18-19 mpg's and about 24 on the highway without traffic

EDIT: I run the B@MA 93 torque as my daily driver, the race and performance mpg's were horrible, but that's not his fault, it's my overly congested neighborhood. Also the race tune took longer for me to stop (well felt like it) because my auto took longer to downshift. I assume thats because the race tune chooses a gear so that the car is always ready to fly
