After I installed my Kenne Bell the mileage has gone from 23MPG to 20MPG. More demand on fuel to burn the with the extra air.

I drive mine around town, I never checked the mileage until after I installed the KB, it got 18-19 mpg. What shocked me is that when I drive it from Fla up to the Smokey mountians it gets 22-23mpg, normally aspirated, it was only good for 20mpg out on the road. What I suspect is that in most people's case, they are running a tune for wide open throttle, because that is sort of what we do. Try to find a shop that will put the car on a dyno, and write a program that covers the entire rpm range of the engine, not just the horsepower peaks. These guys will now what to do: www.racerelated.com BTW, the best way to contact them might be by e-mail, they are currently moving into another facility and that phone number may not be current.
I have a D-1SC with a 3 core intercooler. Mine went from 26 to about 24.5-25. I mean, it's all highway, and I never beat on the car to burn through fuel quickly. One of the reasons why it'll drop a little bit is the tendency to bang through the gears more frequently if you have the S/C on than when you don't. That'll burn fuel quick. If you don't, there's not much of a difference.

Let me explain my post I never checked the in town mileage, I had checked the highway mileage. I should've mentioned that.
