Agreed, autotragic transmissions are FE killers in town.
To reduce fluid pumping losses, you can switch to Dexron-VI or Amsoil's new ATL. Also, see if there's a cheap shift kit that reduces shift times. I'm trying both the Dex-VI and shift kit in a few weeks on my Buick. The results should be interesting.
And playing with the throttle is a must. Shifting into N to prolong glides downhill also works wonders.
