Hi, welcome to ecomodder. I don't have any answers to the questions posed, but hopefully do have something to think about.

Probably the biggest returns would be to put a stick shift in there and a kill switch on the shifter and pump up the tires and learn to pulse and glide (the nascar guys do it under yellow FYI). A lower rear end and advancing the cam a few degrees to give move the torque band towards the low end might prove beneficial as well.

I put a stick shift and a kill switch in my saturn and went from 25mpg to 45 mpg with proper stick technique.
