I don't have a whole lotta hope for major fe improvements via aero on that thing. Yeah, removing the air deflector and doing the usual other, notsoradical tricks will help a wee bit. I think whatever you do without getting radical, you are stuck under (maybe WELL under) 20 mpg which, IMHO, is unacceptable for a daily driver.
As far as screaming deals and paying pumps rather than banks... I've located several free and nearly free econocars without too much effort, and have been getting 27 to 47 mpg with them. There really isn't any reason to pay the pump OR the bank.
