Well my experience with it so far has only been on the power setting. The one not mapped for economy lol. It is showing 2lts per 100km better than standard. This is driving normally-ish around town including a 20 min commute to and from work. I would normally be sceptical of the mpg increase however my fuel gauge/needle is showing better fuel consumption than normal. The needle is moving less than it did over my standard to and from work commute.
This is the chip I have purchased and I'm quite happy so far.

I have just dropped a setting to a more torque power oriented setting opposed to an out and out power setting which I had it originally set to. I will see if there are any further MPG increases. I will also be changing through all settings all the way down to out and out economy, I'll report on what I get MPG/performance wise. I will use the same route to and from work as my test track lol.
I've since been intouch with blue spark. they say the box I have is more like 480NM of torque.
These chips have had some good reviews on various motoring forums so I thought i would give it a go
