The less time your very thirsty motor is running, the better your economy will be. A kill switch would go a long way in this car.
That, and sticky tires are probably the lowest hanging fruit.
My previous car had large(r) displacement and very short gearing, and for that reason aero mods were practically irrelevant. Engine-off coasting could more than double my economy on some trips.
