Trifecta: Tune vs performance?

One question for you guys.... Since the trifecta tune is for performance....

Would "babying" the gas pedal bringing the car to speed slower be WORST for gas milage?

I ask because some people have said that the tune is revolved around the fact that you would want more power... so it wouldn't use as much gas or something if you actually just used the cars power....

I know its super confusing what I am asking....

Basically in DUMB terms (I am dumb) if I drive to the speed of 60 miles an hour and get there in 15 seconds.... would it use less gas if I get to 60 miles an hour if i get there in 8 seconds... using the cars performance with the trifecta tune.

Yeah.... haha. This is probably stupid....

I don't thin the tune is going to make the car use gas differently. It makes it more efficient. The harder you drive, the more gas you'll use. So if you baby it, it should have better mpg.
