Changed that much?!
Mine is 01 3.0i, has some free play on the RF wheel before, negative camber.
Recent work on RF lower control arm replacement, 4 wheel alignment done to 0 camber 0 toe, 4 brand new general altimax HP tires installed. MPG before work: 24.4 MPG, MPG after work: 27.1 MPG, Both data are based on highway 100 miles. Now I'm loving my new baby.

The alignment, balancing of the new tires and the tires themselves (lightest in its class) helps big time. I also have the Altimax HPs and LOVE them on my X. When driving in the rain - you feel like you're still on dry pavement.

Yeah, the 0 toe and 0 camber are good for gas mileage, but bad for handling... I personally like more camber and toe for driving stability (and it makes a big difference) and am willing to sacrifice some tire life and gas mileage for it.
