The deal with the FS program that makes it better for in-town driving is the stock-ish low boost fueling and the early upshifts. For all intents and purposes, there are relatively few fueling and injection timing differences between it and a daily driver or performance tune at a cruise speed/load condition. You should not notice much of a difference in economy between an 80HP DD tune or Fuel Sipper if you're cruising down the highway all the time.

I think that covers the first two questions.

Lastly, I think that the originally-offered Fuel Sipper was an 80-ish HP program and the 65 HP came out later.
