Oh, I didn't realize yours was the earlier model. The numbers are probably similar, though.

I like to watch Load. Above 95% or so, it goes into Open Loop and enrichment - dumps extra fuel in. Avoid that. TPS is simply throttle position - your right foot. I use ~75% load for my pulses. For steady state, try backing off the throttle a notch when you're at speed. You can likely let it up a notch and still maintain speed, with a couple mpg gain.
