The aftermarket parts either flat out do not work, or they are not cost effective. If anything was worth a damn, it would be built into the new cars ASAP. Your cars mileage is what it is, and any EPA estimates are quite inaccurate.
A K&N airfilter would help, but they cost upwards of $50 or more, so you would have to drive a good distance to recoop the expense. As you will be going a whopping 10 miles further on each tank full, that is maybe a $1.00 per 350 miles, or about 50+ fill ups to break even.
Keep the tire pressure up, keep the air filter clean, keep the car tuned up, and perhaps a few less trips to the rev limiter. Then you will see a little better mileage, and perhaps enough savings to supersize your next meal.

That car shouldn't get that bad of milage anyway. You should be able to get in the low 20's in town, and probably a little over 30 on the highway.

EASIEST THING TO DO IS TO GET A FREE FLOW AIR FILTER BY AIR FLOW ENGINEERS OR K & N
THAT WILL ALLOW IT TO BREATHE BETTER
