If by "worth it" you mean recover the lost mileage.... no. The chip will not do a thing for the mileage, any gain is offset by the cost of premium fuel. It will help power, but how much depends on altitude, engine condition, etc....

Altitude effects gas vehicles, chipped or not, an average of 3% per every 1000 feet above sea level. Mileage tends to go up slightly, but you need to run premium fuel with the chip.
