I'm a fellow Salemite AND have a Dodge/Cummins truck...

I didn't expect to see a fellow capitol city dweller among this crowd, let alone one that appreciates a Cummins.

This is blasphemy here, but I wouldn't try too hard to get better fuel economy on something that is already fuel efficient and is fun to ride. I'm getting a little better out of my CBR600, but it's mostly from coasting as often as possible. Brisk acceleration won't hurt the economy too much unless you are having to get on the brakes again.
