Surprisingly all these mods seem to have made a big difference. There is a hill I coast down sometimes. I usually only stay the same speed or gain 3-4 mph. Today I gained 10-12 mph going down the same hill. That is a big difference that I hope will translate into mpg gains.
The biggest thing adversely affecting mpg now is acceleration. The vehicle is so heavy that it takes quite a lot of power to get up to speed. One thing I want to do to help this is to switch to a lighter wheel/tire combo. Currently the combined weight is 80 lbs. I can easily go down to 70 lbs and still have the load range E tires that I want. I'm hoping that will make some difference.
