I think your tunes will work fine for you, but I think getting a 120hp could help as long as you drive it nice. I generally think that to get more power I need more efficiency, so that way I get more hp per squirt of gas so I can use less gas for the same power. by this logic the 120hp tune with non-aggressive driving would get you the best gas mileage.
This may be completely wrong, and I may be thinking of gas engines, but it so far has worked for my and my driving.

Thanks for the info I know that know one knows for sure how any truck will do but I like the input and I put them in a hat and pull from.
