Not speaking from experience,  but I've heard it doesn't do the fuel consumption any favours.

I've heard of chips giving better fuel economy than normal map. Having said that, each engine is different. I know there are ebay flashing kits out there, but I would avoid anything like that. Purely because a generic map won't get the best out of your engine. Not only that, but you have no idea what the map is for/what it does - it could roger your engine. Unlikely, but still a possibility.

If you want to chip it, get all the mods done first, anything and everything. That way you can get the most out of everything. I would recommend finding a trusted and known good rolling road tuning place and let them do it properly.
