Nice result! Remove the power steering pump belt. It was an option on these little car. I have driven without it for years. It should be worth 1-3mpg to you. If you can't adjust yourself to manual steering after a while, you can just put the belt back on. Also... keep up your tire pressure to at least max sidewall ratings. Even on snow tires it should make a difference.
