Exactly.
RandomFact314, the cam you posted about is a higher-performance cam with longer duration and higher lift, which is nearly certain to reduce mileage. Low-RPM cylinder filling will be worse and low-RPM torque will be reduced in exchange for better high-RPM cylinder filling and high-RPM horsepower. Note that you'd need different (i.e. stiffer) valve springs with that cam, which will further reduce efficiency.
