On the highway part of my previous tank, I was pulling around 70 mpg at 53 mph.

So basically what I'm hoping for is a 12% increase in FE from a reduction of 6 MPH + all the mods I made.

The passenger mirror removed + driver mirror folded should give me 2.5%
The side skirts and hubcaps, let's say another 2.5%
The 2 small lower grill blocks + antenna + drl maybe 1.5%
Who knows what the brakes were costing me, maybe 1%

The 6 MPH slower speed should give me the other 4.5% I need.

I should add a diffuser before I leave to seal the deal.
