Default IS350 - RR Tuning Experience (NORMAL Driving)

All, I have 2 questions for those who have had thier cars tuned by RR Racing (7,200rpm tune). This is about what you've experienced in normal driving, not pushing the car to the limit.
  1. What change in MPG / fuel economy have you experienced keeping driving style stable (i.e., consistent highway cruising for example)
  2. What impacts to long-term reliability have you experienced?

Thanks!

1 no change in fuel economy.
2 no obvious impact to durability.

Anything else?

So once a car is out of warranty period, why doesnt everyone do this then!

Perhaps because it's of little value given the cost when mostly applied DD vs track cars?
