Bill said something about this a while back. He stated there would be very little difference in the two tunes if your driving was mostly highway. I suspect you could achieve the effect of an economy tune by lowering your part throttle upshift and downshift and TC lock and unlock points.

Regardless, I doubt you'd get real "value" from an additional economy tune compared to your 87 performance tune.

I bet there's going to be renewed interest in this subject though, as gas prices inch up (like they're doing).
