Default New to the Mustang world

I just bought a 2002 Mustang (Dec 1). It has the 3.8L V6 engine. Wife says it's my midlife crisis car but I've always been a Mustang fan. My first car was a 66 mustang.. When I was looking for my car I kept reading (craigslist, newspaper ads) about all the "mods" that people had done to their car. Being new to all this is there anyway to tell what if any mods are on my mustang. I'm looking at purchasing a SCT tuner to tune it up but even that says to put in the mods the car has.
I'm past the "Need for Speed" years (for the most part) so I'm mainly interested in getting the best gas mileage I can. Just checked it yesterday and I got 18mpg would really like to get it above 20. Any Suggestions?

Welcome to the site and congrats on the new ride. I've gotten 20 mpg around town with my GT, no joke.
