Is there any way to program (reprogram) the car or modify the car in a way to get better mileage in lower gears and/or assist in getting up to speed much more quickly to reduce fuel consumption by accelerating harder to reach top gear?

...

Acceleration is one of the major detriments to fuel economy, along with aerodynamic drag and weight of course.
You've sort of answered your own question. Drop weight and add an airdam+boattail. Then what 2000mc sez.
