For AC, you can pull the compressor, condenser, and fan. In the rear doors you can pull out the window regulators and block the windows shut. The larger of the two rear seats can come out. You'll have more cargo space and can still have two passengers. 100 lbs or so.
I did all of the above to my beater 89s with 251k miles on it when the parts in question failed. I can get 40mpg over 30 miles or so on the edu like you did if I really work at it but generally it says I average 29 to 34. I haven't tried to verify the edu readings. It definitely gets better mileage than my 88T, but isn't nearly as nice to drive.
I don't think you're gonna beat the prius, but it's great you're trying to get better gas mileage. We should all be doing everything we can.
