How long is your overall commute, and how long is the city driving near where you live?

Would it be feasible to bike the city portion, or take other transpo?

Sounds like you are at where I am in terms of mpg, and if you cut that city out, then youre golden.

I dont think decreasing the wattage with HID nad LEDS would really help mileage that much, but why the heck not, they at least look cool, and are a lot more modern looking than the insights 1999 speced lights.

What really seems to work (on all cars) is to imagine there is an egg between your foot and the pedal, and try not to break it.
