Ok.. serious question. If I would like to detune a vehicles hp and tq for more mpg's, could you do that? Seems like an available market.

Yeah, you'll have a buy a brand new one for that, as already established. :(
A stock ZHP can achieve upwards of 30mpg, which is already tough to beat. I'd be interested to see what the gains are. If significant (1+ mpg) then I'd be willing to retune with Eurocharged once I get pullies and other goodies.
I am talking like if my engine is pulled back 25hp will I get significant mpg increase.
Doubt it. The 325i has significantly less power than 25hp yet it gets similar mileage.
What will yield you more mpg's however is a lower amount of rev's on the highway. The only three ways I can see to accomplish this is to get a taller-geared diff, somehow magic up a 7th forward gear on your 6-speed gearbox, or to... drive slower. That last option is the cheapest. It's amazing how much gas you save by actually going the speed limit instead of doing 10-20 over.
For me, the difference is this:
A long trip that I've once made with an average of 70mph averaged me maybe 30-31mpg indicated. Another time I drove that same route, with an average of 60mph (as indicated by the
Seth said Eurocharged works with AA, and my AA tune upped my MPG by 2-3, so maybe that's an indication. Then I added pulleys and it went down 2.
