The grill blocking is mainly about aerodynamics. I don't have lean burn on my 98 Civic. Check my page for other notes you might find useful, though. Also, look at the links at the top of the page "65+ mods" and "100+ hypermiling tips".
Tire pressure is a good freebie. Drive speed limit.
Is the car auto trans or manual?
