Actually if you want better mpg increase the tire pressure over stock by 2-3psi. Yes ride might be a little stiffer, but it's well worth it in my honest opinion.
Also you didn't mention did it get hot these past few weeks?
Did you gap the spark plugs right? Stick some fuel injector cleaner in every 5000 miles? Have you switched to synthetic oil?
