You get to spend the winter hypermiling around scenic Steuben county? Lucky you.

Besides proper tire selection, inflation pressure, weight reduction, and aiming for dry pavement, I'm not aware of anything you can do to reduce your rolling resistance.

There are low rolling resistance snow tires available. Nokian Hakkapeliitta R comes to mind.

I'm going to mount my snows AFTER the first snow accumulation this year. The first snow is always wimpy and melts quickly. I'll just drive slowly if I get caught in it.
