Ok guys, she asked a serious question.
Julie, so far people that have flashed the ECM using a product like SCT or Predator have noticed an increase in gas mileage. It also depends on if you have the V6 or the GT. Different mods with either increase your gas mileage or decrease it.

I don't know of any devices you can use to improve your gas mileage. The easiest way would be to watch your driving habits. For example, slower, smoother acceleration, driving slower on the highways, avoiding downshifting/passing/"flooring it" from a dead stop, keeping the A/C off, etc.

One thing that you folks can do to get better MPG is to reduce weight which will also improve performance.
Remove rear seat, remove spare tire/jack, pull out all insulation, gut the interior, remove A/C, pull out stereo, get pulleys, replace all body panels with carbon fiber composite panels, get a carbon fiber drive shaft, go on a diet.
There ya go

Things I have read on this board so far for improved gas mileage:
K&N drop filter
Synthetic Motor Oil
No idea if either helps, since I am waiting on my 06.
Anymore out there?
The main way is, like everyone else has stated, change your driving habits. Get your fun out of the way early in the break-in period (within reason) and then drive conservatively.

PS - also heard that the Jet Throttle Body Spacer helps also

I will say, the SCT Tune that I did for me JLT CAI kit has given me about 1-2 mpg in the city so far. I do not do much highway driving, so I do not know what it translates to there.
Of course, you have to spend about 15 tanks of gas to pay for the CAI and the SCT, but hey, it has a solid ROI.

My Daddy always said,
"If you want good mileage, drive like you have an egg between your foot and the accelerator. If you want to go fast, you're gonna break a few eggs."
I'm gonna have to put that egg back soon.
