The level will affect mileage due to the change in slight change in aerodynamics. It will be more apparent at highway speed, but should be minimal, maybe 1 mpg. Now where most people lose another 1 or 2 mpgs is from the bigger wheels and tires you put under the truck.

Agreed. When I put my Saleen wheels on, I lost about 1.5 MPG in highway driving. I'm down to 19.5 from 21 with the stock wheels.

It's getting to the point to where I have to keep my HUD on Off Road because I do nothing but look at my current MPG. It gets addicting trying to achieve best with my biotic lead foot.
