So would I. Apart from the EFI tuning, there are other pathways that can do little miracles to fuel-efficiency, such as valve timing, intake and exhaust flows, and even forced induction can help in certain situations.

How do you feel about emissions? Running lean will increase your NOX output, and idk how you feel about making emissions worse.
That's a good excuse for experiences with gaseous fuels such as propane and CNG, as they tend to decrease the intake temperature, thus NOx levels are also likely to go down.
