), get a tonneau cover, if you must use the a/c--use it instead of driving with the windows down---and last but not least..............draft behind an 18-wheeler whenever possible

Remove engine, transmission and driveshaft, and gas tank.
Add tow hooks to front or coast downhill. Howl or scream out the window to simulate supercharger.
Be careful when trying to turn. Power steering is just your arms, but it gets easier the steeping and longer the hill. On the other hand, power brakes are just your legs so try not to make steering to easy (i.e. big long hills).
