Yes. MPG is the name of the game, and I'll tolerate a lot less HP to get it.

Poll: Would you accept lower Smarty hp in the name of MPG?
Personally, I wouldn't mind a hybrid of the half-power and MPG softwares in an effort to get all-out MPG when power is not an issue.
Anyone else? Let's see if we can talk Marco in a SW update...

I would not want the Economy mode any "weaker", I don't think. I tested it on fairly level ground but with some hills... or a load in back... I don't know. 
Have not tried SW #0 but isn't that what your looking for?

i run my truck in the lowest setting, and baby it around, it's our DD, family vehicle, and grocery getter.
i'd like to see 20mpg with my 4:10's and 4x4, i can do barely do 17.5 hand calc.
it's more better to brag about MPG - no one knows what 600tq is, so bragging about 700tq is pointless.
but you tell them 20mpg around town, ears perk up.

Heck, I am probably in the minority but I have been using SW #0 most of the time. I have tried them all but like it for everyday driving. Don't have to worry about how far I plant my foot,although if I hit it in an off boost speed to quick I will throw some decent smoke.
