Ticking noise at an idle, could be your lifters. As for the gas mileage try cleaning the fuel system out. You don't need a shift kit, but one always helps IMO.

Is it getting hot under there? it could be a blown exhaust manifold gasket.
(Excuse to install headers)
Use a piece of hose like stethoscope and listen around until you find the source of the ticking noise.

Also, look under the hood in the dark, see if you see any arcing.
Plug wires (especially cheap replacements) tend to arc over time.
