Arrow PPE Standard, WTF

ok, ever since I got PPE Standard about 6months ago, I have left it on level 5, as daily driven. (I dont drive it balls out, I drive normal, so my tranny is fine) But which tune is best for fuel miledge?

its gonna be kinda hard on 33 12.50's

you might get a little more but it depends on a lot of stuff

best i ever got was 20 and change closer to 21 actually but it was doing exactly 65 drafting behind a bus for about 200 miles on flat road at sea level....
