To be honest, your mileage will be terrible. Someone once told me the more you mod and get a fast car, the more you will be on the gas feeling the pull. That will killyour mileage. They also said that with mods and good tunes, technically you can get good mileage but the temptation I will call it will overcome you.
That sounds like the same people that say installing gears is going to greatly affect gas mileage.

he's saying that since your car is faster, you tend to step on it more often, which results in terrible gas milage.

Well technically any aftermarket part will effect your mpg some more then others. Stage 1 cams will affect your mpg but i highly doubt more then 1-3mpg. So its not gonna affect it too much.
Not quite, infact a vast majority of your aftermarket parts will increase the efficiency of your engine, less rotational weight/better air flow/better scavenging will all increase mileage. [8D]
