    no you will not get worse gas mileage. the only real adverse affects is if you live in a cold weather climate, it will take longer, almost too long, for your car to warm up. when this is happening, your car will stay in open loop longer than usual. in open loop, your car runs a little richer than normal, more fuel. so in the end, yeah i guess in these certain situations, you might notice something. but i seriously doubt it.
