Are you running oversized tires? If stock, the new gears your RPM's will run higher and burn a bit more gas, if the tires are bigger, it might help a bit. The cam will cost you MPG's regardless of the speed. If Chrysler could have designed a cam that would give you more power and better MPG's, it would be in your engine right now.
