As long as you're not going over about 480-500 rwhp, there's no reason to go any larger and they get harder to tune the larger you go. As far as gas mileage... keep your foot out of it and I don't think you'll be hurting too bad. I still get decent mileage on the freeway. Around town is a different story, but it's sort of the nature of the beast. It's still by no mean horrible...
