I understand the above points - however I'd like to understand if anyone has ever undertaken some kind of real "project" to increase fuel economy with one of these versus just either A) accepting it for what it is or B) throwing random parts at it?
Slowing down, while an option, is not realistic for me because I like to keep up with the pace of traffic. Particularly on highway stretches where vehicles moving at 70mph+ are in the left lane, and semi's doing 60mph are in the right lane. It's dangerous to move back and forth between the two lanes so frequently.
Fortunately I don't make these long highway blasts often but when I do, its a remarkable pain to only have ~275 miles usable range between fill ups, and at 15 mpg.
There must be improvements to be made...
