i don't have the chip but it wouldn't surprise me if you are using more gas. all "performance" ecu's try to optimize power rather than fuel efficiency. Basically, more power requires more fuel.

no, i don't think it would be a problem. Unless you are using A LOT more gas... these chips nowadays are pretty much like factory parts cause they test them quite a bit. I wouldn't worry.
