There are some mechanical and aerodynamic changes on the horizon that I'm going will push me solidly beyond the 30 mpg threshold.

Yea aero does make a difference. My best friend has a '91 crown vic and he got 34mpg once driving 65 on the freeway (he used to drive around 400 miles a week to work and back, same as me). I think he more averaged around 29-32 depending on how his right foot behaved.
