Try accelerating more briskly. I normally use gear 1 to get rolling, then gear 2 up to target speed, and then directly to gear 5. This is on a -98 Civic Aerodeck. You can also use other patterns but skipping gears is a good way to reduce losses.

Tuck in the right mirror. If possible, do the same to the left mirror temporarily while on highway. That is good for a few % at highway speed.
