One has nothing to do with the other. Adding holes to a box that already supplies more air than the engine can use at WOT, especially adding them before the filter and MAF, can't have any impact on your mileage.
Weather, traffic, and a number of other factors all unrelated to the holes in your airbox can impact mileage though.

There are so many factors that go into how your MPG is calculated (ie. air temp, driving style) that I doubt drilling holes into your intake had that much affect on that reading. Also, you'd have to have driven the exact same way, same roads, etc. for an accurate comparison.
