2. Practically all of the driving is at freeway speeds, which = high revs, something a basic 4-squirt-per-turn mechanical diesel injection fuel system isn’t the most efficient thing for.

Drive slower !
110 kph / 69 mph will save a lot compared to 130 kph (French PSL)
100 kph / 62.5 mph will save even more.

6. Call me chicken but I really don’t want to run out of diesel in France in a German car on the weekend where there is a HUGE French-German motorsport rivalry (Audi vs. Peugeot @ Le Mans)

It's gotten a lot better in recent years, with more automated pumps accepting debet / credit cards. Haven't had any problem at all getting fuel for the M/C, back in 2007.
Shouldn't be a problem on the motorway, though you'll pay premium prices there.
