i'm curently running a warm air intake that mixes warm air with the normal air.
it works great for economy but it does reduce top power, so that mod might work for a "bigger" engine
personally with your commute i'd go for the most aerodynamic car you can find with a tall gearing. even if it's a little heavier or hasn't got the smalles engine. (all relative)
what sort of milage would you like to achieve?

I am looking 50 mpg ish, have you ever thought about putting a remote flapper valve on your warm air intake so when you are looking for more power you can switch it to a second filter in a colder area? could probably salvage one out of a cars ducting at the scrap yard and operate it off a cable pull?
