you get worse gas mileage obviously because it's dumping more fuel.

As long as you set the pressure back to normal, your gas milage stays about the same. I was down 5-6 mpg before I thought to change the pressure back to normal. Any excess fuel that the higher volume pump gives is just returned back to the tank through the return hose.

If tuned properly, your gas mileage shouldn't change by just adding a fuel pump.

I never really noticed a loss in gas mileage, but since I put on my S/C, I noticed I only get about 25 to 28 MPG versus 28 to 31 MPG. But it doesn't help that I do drive a tad bit faster...
