gallons	272.7	400
$@gal	4	4
Cost	1090	1600
So how much effort and cost do you want to put into save ~$510?

keep tire psi high, use your cruise control to stay near the speed limit, lighten up on the throttle off lights.
You know I totally agree with you and I had done the math before making this thread. It's just recently I've had family members trying to convince me it's the right idea. I think I will look into a tune and possibly the electric fans and be happy with 18-19 mpg.
