Better start tracking your fuel use, otherwise you'll never know wether what you've done helped, nor how much it helped.

I know that I should be able to get more than 1000km to a tank. Previously I've been struggling to reach that mark, mainly because of my driving habits.

There's a lot to be gained from changing the way you drive.
Driving slower goes a long way.
On short trips (say 50km or so), it doesn't change the required time.
On long trips, you do lose time - so it comes down to how important time is to you.

Even if it may not improve the fuel use much, it's still nice to have these benefits.

Spats to go in front of the tyres ?
Mounting spats aft of the tyres adds drag.
