Very interesting topic. I see very good points on both sides of the issue. My guess is that owners will not gain the right to view/modify vehicle code since it allows amateurs to modify things that affect safety and the environment instead of entrusting it to the professional engineers.
I know I would reprogram my car for fuel efficiency; environmental considerations aside. The constant rich/lean dance that the computer does to the fuel map is probably good for emissions, but not so good for fuel economy. I'd also add a power setting that could be activated by a switch.
