Improve fuel mileage above 60 mph

Hello i find the best way to save fuel is to dive slower but many times i don't have the patience or its too dangerous to drive slower. What are some tips and tricks i can do to improve my mpg while driving faster say 65 mph.
I will be driving my 1999 corolla 4spd auto with 377,xxx miles.

I have considered following tractor trailers but they tend to drive 70+ mph and i don't want to be closer than 3-4 car lengths if i am driving that fast. Does driving faster behind them going to be an advantage over going slower in the right lane bymyself??

Maybe there are some mods i need to do to improve the aerodynamics of my car??

I usually accelerate with light to moderate throttle and after that i only use light throttle. I try to coast when possible. I rarely downshift the transmission to decelerate because it just creates tons of smoke.

Ecomodder is an information overload of this topic.
What do you all recommend I start with?
