After much more driving today, I can report that I lost about 3 miles per gallon on the highway and 5 in the city.
Went to the drag strip today, but only got 1 run in 3-1/2 hours so I went home. I'll shoot for next weekend.
The more I drive it, the more I like it. The car just feels a lot stronger. A good way to describe it (at least for people who have cold weather), is you know how hard your car pulls when its about 35-45 degrees outside. That's how it pulls all the time. When it gets up to around 4k, redline is imminent.

Perhaps your fuel economy took a poop because you've been flogging the car with your new found flex in the powerband...

Throttle oversteer with 295's is fun!I have no doubt the loss of city miles had to do with flogging, but the highway was a 40 min. drive with cruise control on.

I am looking forward to seeing ya'll who have put the 3.9 in at Blackhawk. I am having mine installed this week with a NISMO LSD. I can't wait to get her back. Yee HA! I do a lot of track days and I am really looking for this mod. I just love the look of Porsche owners as I blast around them!
