I read all the posts and think cutting the power / boost is a really bad idea. Buy a cruise control(Genuine Volvo is the best) and use it and a radar detector too. You won't help gas mileage by cutting HP, an engine that's slaving away or "lugging" is not efficient and will drink gas!
My good running stock '87 745T pulled a 1500lb trailer load of furniture plus wife(not that heavy),dog, tool box and everything for a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people. This was a 700 mile trip with the cruise set at about 73mph and it averaged 23.6 MPG.
My advice; have some fun-get it out of your system and settle down and drive sensibly. You don't want to be in the situation where you need it and don't have it! Trust me-when you're looking at the grill of a guy about to T-bone your left side after running a red light what do you think your last thought is going to be?
