Have him put a governer on the engine which is basically an old fashioned rev
limiter.
Or just don't drive over 60mph. Cruising at 80-82mph gets me 26-27mpg,
dropping it down to 65-68mph gets me over 30mpg. With stock drivetrain and
OD.

Subject: how to improve gas milage?
My engine is at the engine shop and I wondered the following:
Is there any permanant thing I can ask the mechanic to do to improve my gas
milage by 5 mpg or more?
Thanks,
