My bicycle has "Daytrekker" saddle bags, which are plenty large enough for four bags of Chinese food. But I see the appeal of four wheels and an enclosed cabin.
When I have to drive an automatic, I shift to N and roll up to a red light. You'll find it uses much less brake effort than leaving it in D, therefore saving gas and wear on the brakes.
Didn't IsaacCarlson on this forum wire up a set of switches to control his automatic transmission? I dunno if you can fool a Honda TCU, but it's worth investigating.
Considering your driving profile, weight reduction will be helpful. Start with easy things, like rear floormats, rear seat cushions, and carpet in the trunk. Work your way up to harder things, like removing half a gallon (4lbs!) from the washer fluid tank.
