The only thing you've not mentioned is to remove the injectors and have them professionally cleaned.

I think Chevron with Techron fuel system cleaner is still one of the best ones out. Not as good as having them professionally cleaned but should help. Not that it will help with economy but if you haven't changed the fuel filter in a while it's always a good idea.

Other than dry gas to remove moisture from the fuel system, I've never seen any real benefit from using additives.
