Default Re: TCU tune info

Forgive me for asking a perhaps dumb question, but I'm looking for gas saving upgrades that might also make the car a little more fun to drive when I'm feeling a little rebellious. Is this Evotech transmission something that would be worth doing? I'm in college and do probably 95% of my driving in town. The car refusing to shift before 2000 rpms while cruising at 40 mph, even after a transmission reset, drives me insane at times. I often find myself hitting the upshift on the autostick hoping that will do some good. Anyway, short of making the expensive switch to a manual, would this be a good way to get that improved control over the car? If it works as advertised, I'd be fine with spending the money, but will the automatic downshifting defeat the purpose of the gas saving aspect of the upgrade?
