Talking What else can I do.. already have grill block, hubcaps, belly pan

I seem to to running out of aero mods, at least the "low hanging fruit" type.

Already installed did the following
Passenger side mirror delete
Sealed hood to bump gap
Grill block
Smooth hub caps
Full belly pan



Others that I plan to do are

Rear wheel skirts
Divert air away from front and rear wheels
Turbulator tape (need to find the zig zag scissors)
Smaller driver side mirror or make current mirror more aerodynamic



My 99 Saturn SL2 is my daily driver to work so it has to look somewhat normal, else I would really consider a nose job and boat tail. What else can I do. At the moment, I am thinking about the doing the very small things such as seal all gaps and smoothing out any rough edge.

I am approaching and will break 40mpg with an automatic. That seems to be the ceiling for other ecomodders as well. Roads around here are good but a little bumpy so I know that I am taking a small hit there.
