As for feeling difference.... as a rule of thumb you will not or may just barely feel a difference on anything less than a 10HP gain...

There's no reason why an after market intake would decrease your gas mileage unless youre driving more aggressive to hear that intake or your air filter sucks. get a good filtering air filter, Apexi power intake for example, and you will see improvements in mpg. I did anyway. clean air plays a big role in mpg.

K&N cannot really be compared with Apexi in terms of filtration and air flow. Apexi has been tested to pretty much be the best filter out there. about $100+ for one. http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/2/

Theyre universal, only the adapter changes. Here: http://www.gen5alive.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=503_4_187_611&products_id=596

the 80mm is about 3.15" the other one on the site is 70mm, or about 2.756" so take your pick. Then simply go to pep boys and get a double sided 3" intake tube coupler. Look at mine here.
