Airdam and grill block are wicked cheap and easy to do. Also, get rid of power steering. These little cars don't really need it and it uses significant fuel. With those and good use of EOC and clutch starting you'll get up to 50mpg fairly soon, when you're determined.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. 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.
