Save Gas!
this has been a fun one....
well one thing you can do is the Ztube and K&N filter-if you're lucky you might see a half a mile per gallon increase. its cheap and sounds good anyways, a great beginning mod that might just give you a smidge of what you're looking for

Also, most cars (not 100% on the G) stop firing the injectors when you are in gear and there is no throttle input. This is used to assist in deceleration. If you are coasting in neutral, there is still going to be fuel consumption. Soooo if you're coming up to a stoplight, just coast up to the light, in gear, and don't take the car out of gear until you are just about to stop. This will save you more gas than idling in neutral up to the light.

Well Im actually glad you said that because I didn't know that stuff, but I was just kidding about that stuff cuz it would get irritating doing that stuff all the time.
