Banks Tuner and MPG???

I have installed Banks Six Gun Bundle, wanted to hear some opinions what setting acheives the best MPG's. I have found that driving unloaded on the highway setting 4 gets me the best, about, 21mpg, at 65mph, being real light on the throttle. Only experience so far with towing and the tuner was about 4k lbs on trailer, got about 15 mpg at 65 mph, but did not see much of a difference on any one setting.
Any thoughts? what level have you had the most success with mpg, loaded or unloaded?

Was not too concerned about mpg when I first purchased tuner, now that it is about 5.40/ gal and steadily rising, it is something to think about

I am usually in 2 for back and forth to work. (with 1.4 version) Just did the update to 2.1 last Friday. (more to follow) I am getting 380 out of a tank with Lucas. Be sure to check your version on your PDA. Pro's and Con's....if you have 2.1 already, then there is no real change. Biggest deal between the two is that with 1.4 you could change settings at every level, with 2.1 you can only change the Speed Loader settings.
