Too bad you have an 06(serpentine belt). Anyone with an older car tried removing the belt for the PS pump completely? It sucks but might be a good place to look for gains.

Sorry, thinking out loud.

Actually, I have. A 1962 Rambler. The power steering pump died, so I just removed the belt. The car was light enough that even my wife didn't miss the power steering. However, I never noticed any difference in FE.
