Good morning to all!

That seems to be less of an issue with modern ECU hacks. Most of the reviews I've seen for N54 applications (Procede, TT, AA Xede, etc) indicate that typical "puttering around" driving isn't adversely affected at all. They also indicate that, along with better mid-range and top-end power, mpg is improved in normal driving.

Shiv states that the EVO X is tuned ridiculously rich from the factory, which is no surprise for Mitsu veterans. We should expect to see N54 type results from good tunes i.e. higher power throughout the range and as-good or better part-throttle drivability/improved mpg.
