@aerohead it is my daily driver (though I don't drive every day).

No, highway mileage is a small proportion. Rural hilly to mountainous curvy driving is its main fare at 35-45 mph generally with occasional half hour 50-55 mph trips. Very few stop lights or stop signs, on the positive side. It's not city driving in any sense.

That doesn't mean I don't want to optimize it anyway for a rare longer highway trip. And a better shape can't hurt mileage at slower speeds. I'll treat it as fun and educational.

Instrumentation/driving will be important to best mpg in my circumstance. Energy planning. But I'm also interested in what can be done by possibly working with tuning and transmission.

I think it's an interesting circumstance to explore.
