Check out motorhaven, its one of FTE's sponsors. I got a mac intake for my 97 and got 2 extra mpg than before. You could also look at a diablo chip too, they have them there. I hear this will improve you gas mileage as well.

You can also install an aftermarket performance muffler. The increased exhaust flow will gain you 1-2 more mpg.

Crunch the numbers before you spend much money trying to improve MPG. You might be surprised how long some of those things take to pay for themselves. Of course, the higher the gas prices get, the better any gain will look...
