I suggest removing the oil to increase MPG, the oil pump robs a lot of engine power. If you use those additives you don't need an oil pump, they show them on TV were they drain out the oil, and the engine still runs great.
This should help MPG a lot.


Sarcasm I hope...

As far as reducing horsepower requirements to get more mpg it would be better to use a dry sump with crank scrapers and or windage trays, as these would reduce the amount of HP needed for the crank to rotate.
