Even driving carefully milage will go down slightly. On my truck the milage dropped a lot and caused the rear tires to go bald faster!
Seriously though the bigger throttle body lets more air into the engine so to keep the a/f ratio at stochiometric, the computer needs to inject more fuel. It's not a big difference though, less then 1 mpg on the highway.

I noticed about the same. Although jons preciple is correct, it should go down. Keep your foot out of it most the time, you wont notice.
