Oh yeah duh… what  randy said…  u mentioned the high revs and taller gears 
may really  help


Taller gearing (lower numerically) and the resulting LOWER Revs will  improve 
MPG.
 
One other thing that can be done with NO mods to the car at is is to  improve 
your driving style.
Be a little gentler on the accelerator, shift a little earlier on manual  
shift cars.
Spend more time cruising EASY than passing people.
When approaching a traffic light, let up on the accelerator earlier so that  
you might be able to accelerate easier with a rolling start when the light 
turns  green.
 
....Accelerating from a stop uses a LOT of gas, because the car has to  
overcome rolling resistance.
