The "dead pedal" you describe is called lean burn mode. Its what makes your car more efficient than most. Reconnect the O2 sensor and learn to try and keep it in that mode. You'll get way better mileage that way. I'd expect mid 40s from the car.

Other than that, I'd do a grill block and warm air intake. Or, just look at our 100+ mods list.
