FYI, I did the same thing. The dealer tapped it and then it stripped again. I ended up buying a new oil pan ($800) and installing a fumoto oil drain. Check out the links below for more info.

I have one that I bought from Walmart ($25-30) that works fine. I can't really say about the gas mileage since the vehicle as a whole was loaded down each time I used it, but I would say it probably affects the gas alittle bit but not dramatically.
