I doubled my mileage overnight by dumping my 25-30mpg beater.
Looking at the numbers, your Accord will drink about $60/wk in fuel. If you replace it with a Prius, you might be looking at $30/wk savings. Replacing it with a 40mpg Civic hatch with a stick might save you... what, $15/wk in fuel? These numbers suggest you do can take the time to do your research, select a moddable car, and get a good price on both your Accord and its replacement.
Sentra's advice will undoubtedly save fuel and can be implemented immediately, but I think there are faster ways to get to work at 40mpg. Good luck!
