I'm the same way- I like a good hot shower, but would like to reduce my gas bill as well.
I have been turning the water heater thermostat down a bit every day this week, and finally found the point that I can take a shower without turning the cold water on to balance out the water temperature. It's one notch away from "low". Perfect! Now it'd be nice to get some insulation on there to make it run less often.
