"Short ram" is marketing speak for "stupid intake tube that places the filter in a heat soaked area and probably will make less power then the stock airbox".
So, probably not.

I'm sure a lot of the RX7 guys are thinking it, so I'll go ahead and say it: If you're worried about gas mileage, you should probably buy a Prius instead of an RX7.

Prius gets terrible mileage. Real men drive Insights.
That said, you can get reasonable mileage in an RX-7 if the car is in good shape and you know how to drive it. Some good topics are linked in the FAQ under the mileage section.
