Going on a cross country drive...question about changing tune

Hello everyone....I am heading back the my home state of Pennsylvania this weekend, and I am currently running an EQT stg 1 91 octane tune. I am pondering going back to stock for the drive out and back because it's all a straight shot through on 70 and then flashing back to the EQT for driving through the mountains when I am back home. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? I know I could uninstall the AP, but that would be a hassle once I get back. I'd mainly be doing it just because of gas prices. I wager I'll get pretty good mileage on the interstate, though, gas isn't too big of a concern.

Took my wife's B9 A4 with a lowly JB4 on a 1500 mile road trip with no problems and still managed 30+ mpg.

I wouldn't bother flashing tunes back and forth 🤷‍♂️

Sounds like a plan

Only reason to bother is if you're on a 93 tune and going through an area without.
Add some E or octane boost to up the 91 to 93?
