If you are willing to trash your car, you might squeeze 1-2 MPG out of it, but don't kid yourself you can make the engine run any better than the factory engineers can.
Look at the folks who have the goods and imitate what they do.

How true!!
You have to start with a high miler to get high MPG.
The mods you originally responded to will only yield a few MPG at the most.
You can do the obvious ie: tire pressure, air filter, plugs/wires, lighter oil, cut baggage and carry-ons, vacuum gauge, MPG guage, some light aeros, etc. Gutting the interior and other radical removals will yield minimal results. Slow driving will yield the most. The loss of (any ) value to the car will be more than any "savings" in gas.
