Dont use the brakes unless you have no other option. Leave it in gear to slow down, if you MUST slow down. Otherwise coast at every opportunity. That's what I did and my average MPG was over 46 in a car rated for 38 highway. If I was driving your car I would be disappointed to not go over 40 MPG, under the same conditions. Without stop and go I hit 50 + regularly, in yours, 45 sould be expected.
For a grille block use pieces of pipe insulation, something like 92 cents for a 4 foot section at Home Depot.
I kept the grille block pieces in my spare tire well and found I onlyneeded to remove 1 of 3 in the summer to avoid excess fan operation.
