The 60e (hwy eco. tune) looks good when you read about it, but I recomend you stay away from it. I got that tune and I get worse mileage with that than the 80e on the hwy with the cruise set. I got the 140 aggressive (smoke tune) I just blow smoke in it I never drive or race in it, I got the 120 for racing.
I'm surprised to hear that. I have both as well, and I definitely get better mpg's in 60E, but I only use it if I'm going to be on the highway for at least 30 minutes or so. Less than that, I just stay in 80E. I did get live tuned though, I'm not sure if that's why.....I guess it's just another example of how no 2 trucks are the same.

I'm with Pete, I run 60 most of the time. economy is as good or better than 80e and a little cleaner on the smoke. And I have my choice of tunes. 12 in all. Stock. High Idle, Drive Thru, Lope/Smoke, 60Tow, Decel, 80Tow, 60E, 80E, 120R,140X and Extreme Smoke. If you are getting the F5, then get all you can and save the hassle of being without when you send it back for more tunes or get the F6 and you can try before you buy and tunes are emailed to you as your needs increase.

Good point Barry, I forgot to mention that. It's actually a lot cleaner in my truck, pretty much no smoke at all in 60E.
