Anybody else fuel economy obsessed?

I'm somewhat of an environmentalist and I always take pride in the fuel economy that my car gets. I keep close track of it as well. I'm wondering if anybody else is like that too.
I have 205/55R16 low rolling resistance tires which have larger diameter than my stock 195/60R15s for more mph per engine rpm.
What would be some other ways to improve my car's fuel economy?
I wish there was some aero kit that actually improved coefficient of drag.
Lowering the car would reduce the frontal area a bit. Anybody done anything like that and gotten measureable results?
