Should I tune a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT?

I really love driving my Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, but I would like for it to have better gas mileage. I don’t want to trade it in, so my friend suggested tuning it to get more horsepower and better gas mileage. Are there any downsides to tuning a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT?
