Any other ideas, or are the remaining ones expensive to do?
Welcome to EM --

Depending on the model, there are several things to try -- aero improvements, drivetrain tweaks. WAIs work with certain manufacturers -- but nearly all work in colder climate for warming up the vehicle. Depends on where you are, but an Engine Block Heater may help get you started more efficiently. Perhaps some Low Rolling Resistance tires.

Don't rule out the power of technique and instrumentation/feedback.

I assume you've read the EcoModding for Beginners thread...

Best FE to ya!
