Welcome to ecomodder. Look at what "redyaris" is doing on this site. An auto trans has limits, but it can be improved. His aero mods would be a start. But you can start right away with raised tire pressure and slower highway driving. You will see good gains from those and you won't need to convince your wife to do them. Get an UltraGauge or a ScanGauge. Just watching the numbers will teach you what works for boosting them. Good luck!

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
