Good question BUT I think its the BIG / Wide Wheels and Phat A$$ Tires that contribute more to that then the camber.

Correction: It's the garguantuan +20" CAST super heavy wheels and fat wide wide tires that will affect your gas mileage, not camber. :)

more negative camber = less rolling resistance (contact patch)?

camber alone prob affects gas mileage as much as rolling down the windows.

... I straight out rofl'ed when i saw this thread title... I mean, c'mon... Gas mileage? What about tyre mileage?

Although if you want to get technical, the increased angle probably puts the bearings out of their proper alignment, meaning slightly (as in 1 billionth of a ft/lb) higher friction...

the weight of the wheel is what will affect mileage as well as your brakes.
