wings/gas mileage

anyone notice a decrease, or increase, in gas mileage after the addition of a wing?

pjalexandre is infamous around these parts
yes, but not exactly a before and after observation. My OEM taco wing is adjustable from neutral to mid and to high and I see a drop on both highway mpg with the wing in either of the 2 higher downforce settings as well as a decreased top speed at the end of the straightaway on the track nearby.
