I've seen various chips that seem to be cheaper than a tuner, not wanting to drop a few hundred on a tuner right now but figured if I can get a couple extra mpg for 30$ it would be worth it. Any other chips that would work better?

Those style "chips" are crap, the only chip worth buying is made by SCT

Yeah, a drop in filter, NOT the expensive air intake. And that style "chip" is just a resistor in a fancy case. It just confuses the car into running more rich or lean. Cause most people with no understanding of a car think more fuel more power, less fuel better mileage. It's isn't that simple.
