Ps she's driving and idling awesome.
The 4-3 downshift at anything below 72-74 MPH is normal. That's the way the factory shift points are set up and those are the shift strategies that the daily driver tunes use.

The "race" tunes will do that too...and even more so in some cases because the downshifts are commanded at an even lower accelerator pedal position for a given road speed.

The "economy" is purely relative and subjective. Maybe, maybe not. Buying something for mileage is a sure way to never recoup the money invested.
