Default Where is the Fuel Sipper program?

Just looking at the options for the Phoenix and noticed that the Fuel Sipper isn't listed any more? What's up?

Fuel Sipper™ is a program designed for around town stop-and-go traffic, and the shift strategies are designed specifically for that style of driving. We make that very clear to customers before they purchase that calibration.

HOWEVER...

Often, we get calls from these same customers complaining us that it's shifting too early. The problem? They're trying to use this tune on the highway. It's like our earlier conversations never happened.

We recently decided that we're spending way too much time explaining how this calibration should be used and then re-explaining it two weeks later, so we made the decision to eliminate it. (We did the same thing to our gasser "economy" tune last year.)

FWIW, most of our customers see gains in fuel economy with our regular hp tunes (with the biggest gains being in the higher hp calibrations -- go figure!). Of course, this has MUCH to do with driving style (we can't tune out a heavy foot! ) We could call our tunes anything. It would be easy to just name a calibration 100hp Economy, but that would be silly.

So, if you were to recommend now a good combination around town and highway economy tune...which would it be?

65 or 80 Daily Driver. The 65 or 80 Performance (Sorry Chuck... you OBS guys get a bit hosed with those tiny injectors...) will work just as well but is a touch more aggressive in stop and go type situations. The Daily Driver is a little better mannered in stop and go.
