you have a nice ride.
And you really are taking a nice comprehensive approach to the whole process.

On my 02Q45 .... 58mph is a sweet spot. After mods I can get 30plus mpg all day with the cruise control (epa 23). I know sometimes you just have to get there and you gotta go fast.
I run a 255/45/18 on factory rims. the factory size was 245/45/18. it's worth about 3.4% greater diameter which inturn lowers the rpm at cruise. I do alot of freeway driving about 75% of my 35-42k a yr. you might give it a look.
