you want better gas mileage upgrade your ignition system a nd do a tune up, keep your oil changed regularly, and you will be fine, but if you plan to do heads cam intake etc haveing the power at your fingertips will cause you to have a heavy foot and waste gas.

AFRs with a properly matched cam and a good tune will get you 350 HP.
