I'm not sure how transferable this knowledge is, but Mythbusters did an episode years ago in which they covered an entire car in smooth clay, ran an MPG test, then dimpled the clay and ran another MPG test. Correcting for the weight differential (by putting the clay which was removed during the dimpling process into a box inside the car), fuel economy improved by around 11% with the dimples.

I doubt that makes any difference compared to the grooves typically left on intake runners. But I'd love to see some data on it. I'm seeing it more and more often on heads I do.
