Don't have the numbers, but you already have a seat of the pants knowledge of improved accel. As long as you don't spend a lot of time enjoying that new accel your fuel economy should stay pretty much the same. It is going to take you a lot less time to pass cars, which I view as a big safety. The top speed is the same, just going to take you a lot less time to get there.
I've had 4 different variations of the 9000. Non turbo, CS-light turbo, CSE-FPT, and Aero-FPT+. The CS was a fix and sell, but the turbo is respectable, even with the auto tranny. The others are all 5sp, so there is more power to the wheels. The FPT is an improvement in accel, but if you like the LPT, enjoy it and know that it is not a big strain on the tranny.
On the HWY, I had similar mpg with NT, FPT, and Aero; all gave 30-35mpg at 75+mph. It is around town that the FPT and Aero seem to drink more by 2-6mpg. It is just too much fun....
