33 mpg with 2 near flat tires is a great start!
Be careful airing up the tires if they have dry rot cracks. I learned a lesson the hard way... 58 psi in 44 max psi tires with dry rot equalled tread seperation while driving
If you can't find a higher temp thermostat, block off your grill to raise the coolant temperatures
go full block and trim some out if your coolant temps need it.
Fyi, Saturns seem to like warm air, so a WAI should help based on some other results in the past. Use the search bar to find out the exact parameters.
