Put the car in Eco mode? 
Steady cruising with 1/2 the cylinders has got to be worth 2 to 3 mpg. Also ensure tire pressure is correct.

Speaking for myself, it's not really a priority. But it certainly is nice to have, and it's a great demonstration of what the technology in the car is capable of. I wouldn't take parts off the car over one or two mpg though.
My 460hp, 6.2L V8 gets significantly better highway gas mileage than my wife's 2.3L 244hp I4 Mazda
It's good for a chuckle if nothing else.

It's truely a curiosity issue, in the case I'm not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze if it's less than a 1mpg now if it was proven to be 3-5 then it might be a consideration.
Also don't understand why it comes down to a money issue of how much the car cost, there's a reason I could afford the car just don't wanna **** money away. My .02 cents.

Probably not, unless you are going to be driving a lot of miles. Since those 'Whale Tails' cause drag aerodynamically.
