8th Gen Civic mods

Hello, eco modding newb here. This is a 2009 Civic LX auto. I think I’ve squeezed the max out of just driving techniques, without engine off or coasting in neutral-car gets 34 overall mpg. So far I’ve done smooth wheel covers, a very janky upper grille block and some rear window vortex generators as a test. It’s got a fresh tank in it so I’ll update after the first fill up, but 10% better would be lovely. I plan on blocking the fake fog light vents, shrinking the front wheel arch openings and doing skirts on the rear arches. What do you guys think?
