Smarty/Level for fuel mileage

I am going to be making some 300 mile trips the next few months, mostly unloaded on flat ground. I am currently running Level 3 with descent fuel mileage (16-19). Which level would be the best to get the most mileage? I normally drive around 65-75, dependent on traffic and road conditions. Once in a while I will be pulling a 4K boat.
Thanks

Tell you what works best for me and this sounds crazy. #9 and that was with Bobs Beta-Tow Tune and it is a REAL GOOD tune. Runs STRONG yet gave me Great miles pre gallon.

I dont doubt that setting gets good mileage, but those of us with stock trannies, wouldnt have stock trannies for very long.
