Maybe you could put on a bigger front sprocket, a smaller rear sprocket, and only ride on the freeway. In a tuck. When it's warm out. And accelerate really slowly...
Gearing would be adjusted to the power output, if I can get more power out of it in lower rpms, I'll be able to put a bigger front sprocket, and lessen the friction loses along with pumping losses in the engine, improving its efficiency.
