Low&slow
I believe you are right although I still see some room for improvement. All the low hanging fruit is gone. The next faze is redo the tail section with curves and other improvements, and install the O2-fuel/air guage and adjust the carb jetting if nessisary and I think I may get well into the 70 - 80 mpg range but not any higher without radical changes and even then...? I am thinking in terms of a used Kawasaki ninja 250 myself, for an ultimat high mpg with some highway cruisability.
