What parts if any will improve my gas mileage?

I have a 1998 extracab 2wd 2.4L toyota tacoma with an automatic transmission. Are there any parts that I could get that would increase my gas mileage significantly? Any suggestions?What parts if any will improve my gas mileage?
the only significant change in mpg would be your driving habits. check out ecomodder website for plenty of tips on mpgsWhat parts if any will improve my gas mileage?
I heard that you can buy a new chip for the truck's computer/fuel injection that changes the way it delivers fuel. If you're wanting significant changes in mileage, you'll have to go so far as changing out the rear-end differential with an aftermarket custom piece. It's a big chunk of money just for gas savings. Not to mention that the transmission is set up and configured for that rear end. If the truck was newer, it would be an option, but I wouldn't fiddle with it now.What parts if any will improve my gas mileage?
Significantly? That is a relative term. Someone might think 2 mpg increase is significant while others might think that means 5.



With changes to the exhaust, air filter intake, synthetic fluids in the drive train and potentially a hotter ignition you would likely see something along the lines of 2-3 mpg increase. I would not expect more than that.
