New Job, New Commute - 5.5->28 miles one way!

So I got a new job recently. My old commute was 5.5 miles of flat 2 lane highway. Now I have 28 miles; 4 on hilly 2 lane highway and the rest on I-55 and I-44 through STL (4 & 5 lane freeway, usually not too clogged up).

Naturally, I'm much more interested in my fuel economy now!

I've read a lot on the site and have a few ideas for my 2002 Grand Prix GT. I have some questions too, but I'll post things in their own threads to keep things clean.

I'm 35, have a wife & three kids (one more coming ), background is Engineering, and am a continuous improvement manager for a private company that does heat treatment.
