I'd love a larger tank though. I'm guessing she's gonna settle into being ~14-16 mpg on the highway but only if I can manage to keep my foot out of it.

I ASSume same tank as was in my '70.....I used to have a GM junkyard nearby me up north, and knew the operator....so I had freedom to rome....and went looking for a larger tank due to it being a tow car on specific trips with the kids.....not want to bother stopping for gas......so I found this Caddy tank that had the same horizontal shape/dimensions, just longer straps for the depth, same rear filler tube to the flip down license plate, and modded the trunk base as the caddy tank had a bulge for the fuel pickup for some reason....so a 2" bulge in middle of the trunk....
