You most likely wont see any MPG improvement.

It will drop the revs low enough to were your engine will be working harder (using more fuel) to maintain highway speed.

I know at 55mph I get better mileage in 4th gear then in fifth; however, once I reach about ~63 It changes over to being better MPG in 5th.
