That is exactly what the Lexus / Toyota hybrid eco mode does. It re maps the throttle curve so that low openings are way less sensitive and can still achieve WOT. It also plays with steering sensitivity, cruise control and aircon settings to use less fuel.

It works well for me on the RX450h, CT200h and Gen3 Prius.
