I doubt you would get "better" mileage with a chip; afterall, they are not designed to be miserly......
I had it reamed out so I can use the semi truck pumps. However, it doesn't seem to make a difference in this sense. I can squeeze 3 more gals into in whether I use the small hose or the large one. This was also true before I had it hogged out.

You don't if you can't keep your foot out of it. It seems a little better if you are doing straight cruising with the cruise control set for the most part. Now if you floor it, you get black smoke which tells me that you are having unburnt fuel.

On a side note, Oliver from speedtuning told me that you can lengthen the rod of the wastegate so you can get more boost when you need it.
