I get 18 - 22mpg out of a tank when I just drive normal.

When I have fun I have never done worse than 17mpg.

I can read instantaneous mileage and at WOT I get 6 mpg

I would leave the gears for now and see how you like them. As for oil thats up to you. Most would reccomend full synthetic.

After you install the charger and tune you need to get on a dyno and check your air/fuel. If it looks alright you are good to go. Mash on it all you want and you will be fine.

It will last longer if you keep the revs at 6k rpms, that's all I can guarantee.

You'll want to change your oil ever 3k miles no matter what oil. Your oil will get more contaminated due to the higher cylinder pressures(more blow-by). This is assuming you use that power.
