Hmmpphff.. nobody mentions what seems to be the most obviously things (aside from driving style).
1) proper tire inflation (BIG!!)
2) proper alignment (BIG!!)
3) air filter/fuel filter fresh & clean (can be big if you let it go too long)
4) keeping on top of oil changes and required scheduled maintenance

Here is a cool page from the Federal Trade Commission on Gas saving devices.
Toward the bottom they have some items that have proven to save someamount of gas:

Here are is what they tested for magnetic devices that have some gas savings:
Fuel Line Devices (magnets). These magnetic devices, clamped to the outside of the fuel line or installed in the fuel line, claim to change the molecular structure of gasoline.
The EPA has evaluated: PETRO-MIZER; POLARION-X; Super-Mag Fuel Extender; Wickliff Polarizer [fuel line magnet/intake air magnet].

haha i like this one:
Driving Habit Modifiers. These are lights or sound devices to tell the driver to reduce acceleration or to shift gears
Only thing i can think of is Shell '87 gas and a Short Ram Intake.
Im getting around 38cty/42hwy with 35PSI all around on the tires

Rep Power: 302 I bought a scangauge II. Tells me in real time how my driving affects mileage, etc. I also run tires that have a 55psi rating. I can coast a looong way.
Aside from tires, the scangauge is a great tool to really modify your driving, AND it reports various codes, etc. Cool gadget. Plugs right into the OBDII port.
