Maybe a warm air intake with mild water injection.
Only problem with water injection is its not proven to boost FE on N/A gas engines at least with stock cold air type intakes.

For FE on a gas engine during compression you want your air/fuel mix to get as hot as possible with out preignition and with out having to pull timing before being lit off by the spark plug.
