Replace distributor cap and rotor, if they are due.
Also, make sure the air pressure in the tires are all at the recommended level. That recommended pressure is on a sticker on the driver's door jamb.

Honda seems to like NGK spark plugs best.
General clean-up. Dirty throttle body & throttle plate? Got any vacuum hoses that are getting old & cracked? Eliminate any vacuum leaks.
Got a timing light? Advance your spark timing a bit but keep it inside the acceptable range.
Check whether your brakes are dragging?
Suspension alignment and/or replace worn shocks (IF they're worn).
When it's time to replace tires, there's some models that have less rolling resistance - usually labeled as "energy-saving" or Goodyear "Fuel/Max" or something like that. They are generally NOT the more sporty - performance tires so you gotta make the choice.
But the most important, most influential thing BY FAR is how you use your right foot.
