Remap? MPG and Reliability

[Sulli]

I have seen some conflicting opinions on whether a remap will affect mpg - some say worse, some say better.
If I can save a few quid on fuel, then a remap is a good option. Much of my LCR's driving is in town, stop start, to work and back - infrequent longish runs, so presently mpg averages around 24-26mpg. I am thinking that a remap as well as giving that little more power when I race, will also allow the engine to work less hard when tootling along, and the increased torque will mean trundling along in 4th at 30mph will require less revs and give better mpg. Does this make sense, and in reality is it the case?
Also, what's the likelihood of reliability issues after a remap?
And before anyone says it - yes, I think i'm gonna get a Revo trial, but may plump for E-Maps if I go for a full remap.

on same type driving I have been told by customers they get slightly better fuel consumption once remapped - 2-3mpg typically.

diesels seem to get better still (dammit LOL )

Just got the Revo trial. Yep, seems the consumption is similar from my brief try on the way back, when taking it easy, but drops lower (9mpg on occassion) when you floor it.
Must admit, i'm surprised how well the LCR handles the extra power. I thought it'd be a little twitchier, and traction would be an issue, but I guess that'll only be in the wet. Should've gone for DS2500s though when i did the pads i'm thinking
Shame they don't do a diesel trial - my A6 2.5tdi could do with more poke, and if I get better fuel consumption then it's well worth doing.

mpg i found after a map was no worse... possibly better. but training the right foot i found difficult

Revo stage 2 with FMIC and turboback exhaust gets about 6L/100kmh when
when driving at the traffic speed, and trying to get good mileage. 39 mpg if my convertion is correct.

8L/100km when driving without paying attention to consumption. 30 mpg

30L/100km when driving at the track who cares about mpg here ...
