Oh, man...

Well, I think your biggest handicap is the extremely attractive thrill potential of the Skyline. Great MPGs can be yours if you can just keep your foot out of the big pedal on the right. UltrArc is a guy with a recent Mustang, he's pushing into the 40s with his ride but fighting the lovely GOFASTERGOFASTER exhortations of his free-breathing exhaust system.

So if you've managed to work out some of your sporting urges, you can do a lot just by changing how you drive. I see others have already pointed you in that direction, and it's going to be the biggest bang for the buck (since there are no bucks involved) in wringing extra distance out of every tank.
