If you have deep cycle batteries for other things like a trolling motor, you could set up an alternator kill switch and run off the batteries. Usually nets 10%. More if you can keep the voltage at 14V+

Tire pressure. Are you up to max sidewall? The heavier you are the more rolling resistance comes into play.
