Can we make the following observation, that high speed economy improvements are to be made thru aeromods, and low speed improvements through engine mods/behavioral alterations?

Certainly. There's always an edge case to anything. In this example the gray area in the middle. Changing the axle ratio or tire height can affect top speed, which is limited by the increasing power requirement for [higher] cruising speed.

Pound for pound, remove reciprocating or rotating mass first. I have this theory that titanium valve spring retainer clips may help as much as alloy wheels.
