Yes, a tune will help you increase your mpg's. But since you are going to have more power at your disposal.... guess what? The addiction for power will retain your mpg's at a low rate.
Is not so much about the amount of power (I mean yes and no), but rather about driving style and other things in between. Also the type of traffic that you find yourself i.e. highway versus city versus bumper to bumper traffic.

I went into limp mode well before going into single digits for MPG.

I've averaged about 20 mpg so far... I just bought the car in February with 11,500 miles on it. My commute is about 25 miles round trip, mix of city/highway. I'm happy with that because I used to have a 2004 G35 coupe and averaged 18 mpg.

I have a 6MT roadster, stock.

my g35 coupe averaged 21 actually. I miss it. If I can find one that hits all the right boxes at the right price tag, i'm going to buy one back =P

City driving 16-17mpg, highway 23-25mpg, mix of city and highway 19-21mpg. I think those are normal scores for the Z. 2014, stock tune 13k miles, no change from adding k&n drop in filters, muffler delete, and an ecu reset.

This reminds me when I was younger I had an aftermarket exhaust and a vented blow-off valve installed thus my MPG's fell to the floor. For a while, I was thinking that the "extra power" was making my car more thirsty. The reality is that later on in life, I realized that I was driving like a mad man since I wanted to hear at all times my new exhaust and blow-off valve combo and I wanted the entire town to hear it as well. So it was not the "extra power" what was burning more gas but it was my driving style since I was driving harder than normal just to be loud and obnoxious, but to me that was still considered "normal" driving.
Cheers!!!

City driving (stop and go) traffic lights and all the other stuff in between is what kills mpg's. As a matter of fact I went for a nice drive all the way up to West point military academy yesterday with cruise control on (never went above 65 mph) and I was averaging well into the high 20's. The roads up there are in bad shape and there are hills all around. My trip was about 43 miles each way and I'm bone stock (well, not me but the car is).
