I'd look at getting the 4+E gearbox. I had a MK2 golf driver (GT in mainland europe) 1.6carb and it's 5th gear ('E' gear )would let me sit a 3,000rpm at 75mph. for economy I'd switch down to the 165 width tires (that will also help with the effort you put into the steering at low speed!)

other than that drop it on the floor! to improve frontal area! and remember if it ain't rubbin' you aint Dubbin'!
