Sweet, an Aspire, I've been waiting for one of those to pop up! I'm interested to see what kind of mileage you can wring out of that thing. (though on that front the Ethanol ain't exactly helping)

Anyhow, bumping up the compression would be a good first step, though it's pretty involved for a first step. As for the rest, any of the rest of the techniques involved with getting better gas MPG should transfer quite nicely to alcohol MPG. (Especially the warm-up and aerodynamic mods)

Good luck.
