In GURPS, ones home gravity is a band 0.2 gee either side of the gravity one grew up in. People from a 0.66 gee home have no problems or adjustments between 0.46 gee and 0.86 gee.

I did a little study of the distributions of surface gravity on worlds generated using GURPS Space 4th ed., and how the range varies with Habitability or vice versa. The results are in an old thread, and perhaps they will help you understand the issues you face.
