As was stated a good tune up is the best place to start. Also keep in mind no matter what you do to improve efficiency the biggest impact will come from you driving habits.
I was getting an average of 10 MPG around town with mixed hills and flat stretches, did plugs, wires, cap,rotor, and new coil, went up to 12 MPG and with the K&N drop in filter I get a high of 13.5 with an average of 13. I don't drive like a granny but then I'm never really in that much of hurry either, from time to time I like opening her up to let the headers and flowmaster rumble.
Be interested to see what changes if any I see once I replace that clogged cat. Will also be doing the plenum upgrade to in the near future.
At todays fuel prices the extra money spent keeping a vehicle in top running order really is worth it even for modest MPG gains.
