Default Advantages of a TTE lip or Spoiler for mpg

Trying to see if there is any advantages to the TTE Lip or spoilers for + 1-2 mpg gain, any info on this? Or are they just for looks and some more traction.

Wow really? Do you have any graphs or live mpg images from your gs to prove it. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one.

Is this a serious question? There are no advantages, if anything it adds weight to the car
