Default New Exhaust bad gas economy

I recently installed the Walker 39425 exhaust and I went from 360 miles to a tank to roughly 300 miles to a tank. There are no codes, I am not lead footing it either. I really thought if anything, my gas economy would go up not down. Have any of you experienced bad gas economy with a performance exhaust? I am really thinking about putting the old exhaust back on.

Did you do the entire cat back exhaust system or just muffler?

Did you contact the manufacture for suggestions.

Any performance improvements.

I have gotten 300 miles per tank since I purchased mine. I fill it when the "low fuel" message comes on, that's right at 20 gallons (3.5 gallons left). Highway, city, off-road, never seems to make a difference; 15mpg every time. If I ran till empty, I guess I could go 345 miles, but not wild about pushing it to the station.
