To help you:

- Grillblock (and proper coolant and oil temperature monitor)
Helps warm up and aerodynamics
- (road)Tyres with low rolling resistance if you do only roads.
- Tyre deflectors for aero
- Hot/warm air intake for fuel economy
- Undertray for aero
- Other differential gears in front and rear axle for lower cruising rpm.
- Accelerate at 80% load and keep rpm as low as possible
- Search for the mod/hack other people have don to manually lock the torqueconverter (more efficient acceleration)

Thats what i know of gassers. I aim a diesel boy.
Probably a lot more but i aim on hollyday and this is what i know first tought.
