On the city driving tuning the thing that is a pain in the arse when trying to conserve fuel is the accelerator pump part of the software. Stop and go traffic can kill your FE because of this.

But there are ways you can get around this if you don't mind having a lean stumble.
Any time I tuned a turbo car (not too many, but a few) I never even touch the basemap below about 2500 RPM. The turbo never spools any lower than that, regardless of load, so I always just left that part out. Besides, if you're racing (which was the whole point of the turbo setups I was tuning), you seldom see engine speeds under 2500 anyway, if at all.
