I agree 100%. My MPGs are the same on stage 2 as they were on stage 1 as they were stock. The best way to get good gas mileage is to use cruise control. I drive pretty aggressively and I get 22-23 mpg in a 50/50 mix of city and highway driving.

The hassle of switching maps, plus the loss of power and the fact that you can't floor it, makes me have little motivation to use the economy map.
