injectors, fuel pump, e85 and a tune will get you to approximately 400whp on a dynojet

MPG won't go down just because of the size of the pump and injectors. It is all about the consumption. Generally once you get those parts and a tune your right foot gets heavier, which will lower your gas mileage.
