That's harder to quantify.I would assume that you're only opening it a couple of inches, so there wouldn't be that great an increase of drag- call it 2 mpg, maybe? But if you drive 60 mph instead of 80, you'll gain about 5-7 mpg or so. And at lesser speeds the open window's drag is less pronounced.
My Isuzu Amigo gets about 19 mpg if I drive it at 70 mph, and about 28 if I drive at 45-50. *shrug* And it has the aerodynamics of a concrete block.
