If you had to replace the engine, then you could go with a smaller one and turbo it, but just slapping a turbo on won't help fuel economy much, if at all.

An intercooler helps only on turbodiesels. On normal diesels it doesn't do anything (other than restrict the intake), nor on gassers as in this case.
jm283611, swap the tranny and replace your tires with slightly taller ones when the time comes, this will reduce rpms at highway speeds. Also, add a warm air intake, ie so your engine is getting intake air from the warm engine bay, not the cooler outside. Warm air is less dense than cold, so less air gets into the cylinder, and with it less fuel.
Since you mostly do highway driving, then you would greatly benefit from aeromods - smooth wheel covers, partial grille block, smooth bellypan, rear wheel skirts. A Kammback or even boattail would do wonders to you FE
