Yeah, everyone says that in the beginning

Try engine braking on the downhills. This should cut the fuel, letting you coast almost for free.

Any tips or comments? Please post |
A grille block and a block heater since you live in a cold climate.
Remove any racks or railings from the roof, those hurt bad.
Before your trip you should try a few aero mods, like smooth wheel covers or a bellypan. These are hard to notice, so easy to get past your Significant Other
Rear wheel skirts and/or a mini-Kammback would help noticeably.
