the only difference between realtime and basic....is you cant make on the fly changes on a basic. all the tweaking you are doing is to the tables....and its just on the realtime its stored in a flash instead of a burnable rom.

sure you could lean yourself out...or you could do both lean and pulling timing. but over all you still have x ammount of weight to pull though the air with a y ammount of drag, and a certain z gear ratio. you loose the fuel, you have to loose the spark, which means you loose the HP. so you have to give it more pedal to move the car.

you would have better luck improving your mileage by removing weight. sure you probably could eek out 1 or 2 mpg out of it...but you could do that by coming up off your right foot and going 55 instead of 60.

i just dont see you making any increase in mileage by a leaner tune, that you couldnt do by slowing down or loosing weight.
