Someone was bound to say it, but have you considered swapping out the motor for a diesel when it goes kaput?

Also, aeromod the crap out of it. Look up aerohead or BZP's T-100's for ideas. Roughly estimating, you could see nearly 30mpg after extensive aeromods combined with mechanical mods. My boat tail "Anal Probe" got 46% over EPA highway with just aero, and it was a decently aerodynamic car to begin with.
