Don't expect propane to give you a big boost in mpg.
Once you add up all the gasoline and propane you may see a 1 or 2% difference.
Right now for me propane is $2 per gallon. But propane only contains around 3/4 the energy of gasoline so you burn 25% more.
Ozone generators, hho generators are all scams.
Nitrous oxide is very expensive, plus if the nitrous leaks into the intake while the car is off and you go to start it you can blow the intake manifold off the engine as soon as you go to start it.
Running the heat while the car is off will only really work for as long as the little bit of coolant in the heater core stays warm. So you will maybe have heat for a minute or two.

Try a low rolling resistance winter tire.
