Re-flashing the computer
Do people ever re-flash the C6 computer for M.P G. instead of power? Or is it not worth it?

Not that I've ever heard of - what software would people use?
The biggest influence on your gas mileage is your right foot.

And any reprogramming will void your nice powertrain warranty.

Yes, any mods to the tuning will void the warranty and more importantly, the 5yr/100k warranty. Think carefully before modding.
