Aero stage 2 upgrade: mileage?

Question for nordic stage 2 aero owners (2002-3 vintage I think apply here).
Did you notice a mileage benefit? I went to test drive an upgraded aero today - first Aero drive - nice - and was wondering if for long highway trips with cruise control you still get the rated upper 20 or maybe 30mpg. The current owner says he gets around 25 highway. I thought upgrading from my Arc might get me some mileage benefit but I get 25+ on trips (was rated 26 on the 2003 sticker, but 24 "new EPA sticker").
Obviously if you can't keep your foot off the gas, tempting I know, mileage will suffer. My scanguage read up to 300BHP (just a fuel/air calculation the wheels obviously don't see as much but it was quite a thrill!)
Thanks!
