Oil Pan, Transmission Pan and Fuel System Pre-Heaters (The last one's for winter use)
Amsoil Oil Bypass Filtration System (I'm not sure this will increase MPGs, though it'll keep the oil cleaner if it works as advertised.)
Power Steering Fluid Flush (The first flush didn't clear out all the brown burnt fluid. It did help though, and I imagine may increase MPGs a bit if old fluid has been putting extra strain on the system.)
I've been reading that cleaner oil = higher MPGs.

Clean Oil Reduces Engine Fuel Consumption

Also I may delete the power steering and replace it with a manual system. The stock one was functional but long toasted in black fluid that I couldn't see through when I got it.
