All this reminds me that I need to find a new oil cap! But perhaps I've stumbled upon something - replacing your oil cap with a wedged-in dirty rag adds 5mpg.
Glad to hear that you made it home okay despite the weight-reduction services offered by our lovely 198km course. Hope that the fixes aren't too time and resource consuming.
