16) replace gaskets for timing chain cover/ oil pan/ transmission oil pan

ANY OTHER LOW COST MID-RANGE COST IDEAS OUT THERE??
For gas mileage, yes on 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 15. Also a grille block. An underdrive pulley will hurt cooling if you drive at low RPM. Number 6 is not consistent with ECOmodder, and it won't help your mileage.
