I've read reports of 1-2mpg gains by getting the ECM tuned, and these guys seem to be the best deal: Black Bear Performance :: Custom Tuning Solutions for 96 and newer GM Vehicles I'll probably get this done in a few months.

I haven't done a whole lot, just the low $$ mods.

Canopy
Tire pressure increase to 50psi
Driving techniques
Driving with out A/C with windows up
premium fuel

The next thing I'm going to try is a non-ethanol fuel.
