Obviously this question is similar to How to improve fuel economy in high-mileage car? except I am asking specifically about automatic transmission car.

The car still delivers lots of power/acceleration but the fuel consumption is very high. Maybe this is a naive question but could I somehow set up the automatic transmission software to trade power for fuel efficiency?

EDIT:

My car is 2004 Ford Mondeo XL 2.0 Petrol and fuel consumption is cca 15 liter per 100 km (15.7 MPG) in a city.

Yes depending on the vehicle you can get either chip or OBD port tuners. You can get a tuner to change the automatic shift points of your vehicle to be lower rpms.

You still have to drive nice though!

Simple steps will reduce m.p.g.-correct tyre pressure-don't accelerate rapidly-driving with windows down or operating air con increase m.p.g. as do weight carried and add-ons like roof racks.Try and maintain a constant speed. Your transmission can be modified but is not a cheap endeavour
