Default Superchips fuel economy tune?

I've got the Superchips tuner and only have it set up to change my transmission shifting and I love it.

I never played with any other tunes. I'm wondering if the fuel economy makes a difference, in particular on the highway.

Don't waste your time with the economy tune. It seems that the 87 tune gets the same mpg's with better shifting to boot.

i installed the economy tune about two weeks ago since gas is up to $3 a gallon again, I figured I'd go for mileage for awhile....HA, thats B.S. I actually lost over 1 mpg, maybe cause I gotta floor it now to get anywhere. I'm going back to the 87 performance tune today.
