It's like having two stores next to each other with the same items but one of them has the double price. Which one would yo go to?
On topic: on my IX MPG got worse by 2mpg or so with Cosworth M2's

bigger cams means more air in, which requires for more fuel to be fed to the car, sooo yes its normal for an untune car or even a tuned car to get a little drop of mpg, nothing THAT noticable but depending on how you drive the mpg can vary..
