Not with diesels man, with a #100 fuel plate you will get probly between 18-24 mpg, but when you get higher into rpms and really get on it, it will probly drop to 16-18 mpg, but im just guessing here

running no plate isn't going to hurt anything unless your truck just can't take the extra hp from it but there are plenty of guys on here that have been running plateless for a long time and not had any problems i took mine out about 3 or 4 weeks ago and love it. but you gotta tune the right foot or else your mpg is going down the drain.
