Unless your right foot is heavy it's not the power that is eating the cruise mileage, it's the weight and emissions.
Power aside I like my heavy truck for towing, it's more stable and handles the weight over rough roads better.
I would guess that my motor is around 490/1000 at the flywheel, it's a good amount of power but not excessive by today's standards. It does come in handy for passing while empty or towing, but generally it's not used. I built an effectient motor, hardware and software, and it's the power I ended up with and it delivers better mileage empty and towing than stock. I realize it's not the same as OEM power, but it's still power and it can be had without breaking too many things.
The high fuel mileage, light duty diesel pickups are here and they have more hp than the original CTD from 89-93. If you don't tow heavy they are great, but even with my lightish 8500lb TT I'll stick to my setup.
The thing I find interesting is the hp to torque ratio, it tells me it's a higher rpm motor than the 6.7 Cummins in terms of powerband.
