Default Performance suggestions for '92 VX?

Hello all. I'm new here, and I have a 'new to me' 1992 Civic VX. The car is completely stock under the hood, and while it's fairly peppy and fun to drive around town, I'd like to look into some inexpensive ways to get some extra oomph out of my 1.5 liter. What have y'all found to give the most bang for the buck for your cars without swapping engines? I'm not interested in another engine, 'cause I LOVE the 45+ mpg I'm getting. I'd just like to know if there is anything I can do to the peripherals of the existing engine to feed it some espresso, so to speak. Thanks for your input and suggestions!
