I know what you mean. I think I am lucky in the sense that my car is a 1999 with basically "circa 1996 obd2" firmware. I've heard that newer ECU/PCMs are just "too smart for their own good" when it comes to ecomodding, and will fight with you. The older stuff can be "tricked" into getting better MPG.
The drawback for me is that there is no real "tuner culture" for my Saturn S-Series. All the chips are soldered onto the ECU/PCM. The only way to modify the ECU/PCM is through the dealer, and they won't do custom stuff. There is one for my car, but it's maybe $300, you have to mail your ECU/PCM to them for them to program, and it's performance-centric.
