Any quick ways for gas mileage increase with not to much buck? I usually get like 25-28mpg and I do in town and highway driving.

That's actually really good for the V6, even the I4 as old as these motors are. You really can't get that much more out of it without rebuilding the motor and replacing all the sensors.

All the little things matter ...
Check for properly inflated tires (low tire pressure can cost up to 10% on mileage)
New air filter can help also
Improve your driving techniques , slow easy acceleration, constant speeds and use of cruise control all can help improve mileage
Weight of the vehicle, get rid of unused unwanted things you haul around
grade of fuel you use
speed fast starts and high speeds are bad for fuel economy
fuel filter condition consider changing to a new one
fuel injector condition try running one of the fuel injector cleaners
if you are burning oil condition of cylinders and compression
your brakes and how well they are working or if they drag
your wheel bearings and condition
