Cheap way of increasing fuel efficiency on a natuarally aspirated engine (non turbo or fuel injected) is to replace the air filter if it looks chokes up. Reason being if it can get air in it will take more fuel and not burn it efficiently

Yes thats right I mainly do short journeys.
We replaced the Air filter a couple of months back so I dont think replacing that now will make a difference but thats still good to know for future reference.
Are there any other things that could effect my fuel efficiency that would be worth doing to the car? In the last 6 months it has had a new cat, New Lambda, new Airfilter, and its had a fuel additive put in (may have been redex, cant really remember).
Whatever I do really needs to be able to pay for itself in a year to be worth it as I will be getting my Dads Corsa in about 8 - 12months so it would really be a waste of money otherwise.
