Actualy... from real life experience... although lowering the thermostat will
yes indeed give you better performance, it will hurt gas mileage...

I went from a ~200 to a 180 in my T-Bird, and lost about 2 mpg...

On the book side- Thermodynamics also says that the lower the operating
temperature, the lower the efficiency...
