Depends how aggressive the cam is and how well the car is tuned for it.

if you stick with a very mild cam you might see a drop of a few miles per gallon and still daily drive it. Go with a race cam that is too aggressive and watch the MPG fall like mad. You will need a major fuel tune and that car will be a terrible daily ride.
