Fuel saving mods?

Accelerate slowly. check
Keep speeds down. check
Keep filters clean. check

I have an AEM SRI...aside from that and the Amsoil oil my engine is stock.

I was thinking about pulleys but after searching I found that they don't do much and there's the possibility losing an alternator. I've read that a throttle body spacer won't amount to much either. What else is there...anything??? Will an exhaust help any? All I've read is people saying intakes and exhausts didn't amount to anythign power wise but no one every says anythign about fuel mileage..

It's right about now (fuel prices) that I regret replacing the tires on my 17's...I wish I would have just put some narrow all-seasons on my stock rims.

I don't think I could recoup the costs in fuel savings


FWIW, I'm lowered on Sporlines...
