More efficient acceleration rates.
Working the terrain

That's pretty much spot-on. The biggest thing for me is estimating coasting distances and light timing.
And yes, the vehicle is a boat anchor. I drove it 440 miles up to the Siouxland area today in a 20+ MPH headwind (felt like 90). To get it at 30+ MPG total, I fell back to 55 MPH in a 70 zone for a 150 miles or so (and up to 60 in the 75 zone). The Cd is supposed to be 0.33, but it seems much higher than that.
