1. I Inflated the tires to 41psi, which is a bit much, but the mileage increased drastically.
2. I heard something about how these cars like to run hot and get better mileage with heat. Can I install something to block of the air ducts in the front?

Hi and welcome. I too have an Aveo, but mine's an automatic.
Inflating the (crappy) tires to 40 PSI will help some, but it will give you a very hard ride.

The grill block will help it heat up faster in winter. I leave the lower grill blocked off year round and only remove the upper block, and it seems to be OK.
