some speed mods for the 182 that did fine things for MPG or cruise upped 20

That has always been the biggest challenge in aviation. The range
between
slow speed and top speed. The 182 is not bad. Unfortunately Cessna did 
not pay any attention to a drag clean up on the new one. Flush riveting,
better fairings, etc., etc..
