Grill block. Its cheap, easy, and gives good results.

Other than that, seriously look at driving technique. It is completely possible to double your mileage with driving technique alone (albeit a lot of work). Simply being an aware driver following the speed limit and anticipating lights can get you a pretty easy 30% over epa ratings. You'd have to mod the heck out of your car to get a 30% gain.
