Yeah! Another guy from Switzerland!

Nice project about it. For long trips, I would agree about lowering speeds and making efforts about the aerodynamics. But in a way, your aerodynamics are not that bad since you have a long version. Belly pan is good, of course smaller mirrors, maybe back wheel fairings?

I would also go for a total oil change of back box/diff oil as you get huge power losses from the very long transmission tunnel and these parts are often forgotten in servicing.

Otherwise I am not sure about the AC-alternator delete one should be sure that the final state will not be worse than the first one... Or maybe then go to a total hybrid system which indeed should give you better mpg on roads with unconstant speeds.
