Is it time to "chip" the V-10 in an E-450 class C?

Hi, With fuel prices going through the roof, is it time to "chip" the V-10 engine with the idea of saving fuel? RV is from 2004 so a four speed. I do drive 49 mph (78 kph) and do get 8 to 10 MPG...

Waste of money.
If chipping a vehicle would give you better mileage without causing internal engine and transmission reliability, don’t you think the vehicle manufacturers would be doing that?
