mods. for mileage
deffinatly intake...and exhuast. they help the motor inhale and exhale better. the only problem is that i actually got worse milage cause i couldnt lay off the gas...its so much more fun to drive with mods. 
also...make sure your tire pressures good...avoid long idles (you get zero miles to the gallon at idle) try not to start the car a lot of times and avoid breaking hard...just a few tips that helped me save a few bucks at the pump...doesnt seem like much but, it adds up.

they lean the car out and increase the timing. The factory tune is f*cking RICH!
Things that improve milage.
Better intake tract, the freer flowing, the better.
Better catback.
Headers.

PCMforLess style mail order tune.
A few things you can do.
Increase tire pressure.
use a taller tire(less revs per mile)

i just spent an hour a couple days ago tuning my car a local dyno using tuner cat software. after my WOT tuning was done i spent two runs tuning lower rpm fuel/air ratios to get better mpg... so far i picked up a lil over 1 mpg by leaning the mix to 14.8:1 cause stock it was really rich. so i agree with gettin a tune for better mpg

I don't get the point of spending $$ to get better fuel milage, since it wont pay off for years. BTW intakes don't increase gas milage, the TB causes the only restriction on the intake under cruising conditions. Think about it, for part throttle it restricts the air flow. And the stock intake is not restrictive at part throttle.
