Narrower LRR tires would certainly help. If you want big MPG without going hybrid, go diesel. Also they have gobs of torque and nearly as satisfying to drive as a LS2.

IfI were doing it, I would start with a convertible. I'd make the windshield a bit taller (I sit as high as a man 6'10" tall) and get a custom made coupe top made for it. Of course in addition to the Cummins diesel.
