I mentioned the tire wear, not because I care about the well-being of your tires, but because it's one thing that will indicate significant alignment issues. If you are getting unusual wear, then it is taking additional power to move your car.

Is the leak before the throttle body or after? If it's before, it's not a vacuum leak (no vacuum before the throttle body). If it's after, it is a vacuum leak and can affect mpgs and your idle, even on an engine with a MAP.
