tips for improving highway mileage 200

'91 244 w/M47 got between 27-30mpg on a recent 4,000 mile road trip at somewhat illegal speeds. Tires are 195/65-15 kept around 32psi.

Removing the Thule roof rack that came with the car didn't seem to make much of a difference in fuel consumption, but it was sure a pleasant surprise to discover that this car is actually pretty quiet at speed; those racks generate a ton of wind noise.

Before I had the AMM replaced, I was getting pretty bad mileage, 18-20.
