1. Fairfax Connector line 981/983 for to the Wiehle Metro Station for a grand total of $1.75 (30 mins to the metro)
2. Silver Line Express for $5 to the same metro station (I imagine the ride won't be more than 15 mins), wifi.
3. Metrobus route 5A for $6 (1h4m to L'Enfant Plaza).

If you have some time to kill at IAD and want to go visit the Smithsonian Air and Space museum, the 981/983 bus will take you there in less than 15 mins. See timetable above.

Some corrections to your update:
The 5A MetroBus is $7.50 each way, not $6.
The Fairfax Connector 983 bus goes to the museum, the 981 bus does not -
check the schedule online.

(Note that I covered all of this in my post previous to yours.)
