besides installing an e-fan, is there anything else I could do to increase my gas mileage?

Change your O2 sensor and most of all; forget about that pedal on the right.

Air cleaners, tune up parts (plugs, wire, rotor fuel filter, and ec) and O2 sensors can be found at any auto parts store. You can get an E-fan from jegs or summit. But still the most import thing you can do to save gas is drive like an old woman.

hmmm i guess i should do most of those things. I don't think my fuel filter's ever been changed or my O2 sensors either. I'm pretty good with my air filter though and my tire pressures as well. Are all O2 sensors universal? And are there more than 1 in my whole engine setup?

they arent universal, though a lot of them seem to fit different vehicles. you have one on your exhaust manifold and one on the exhaust pipe right after the cat converter

Fuel filter isnt gonna save on fuel mileage. Unless you have well over 80K on the 02's, it isnt worth swaping them out for new ones either, they can last double that with no problems.
As suggested:
Good tune up- Includes , Plugs only since you have mo cap and rotor. Fuel filters only after 30K, along with Air Filter, PCV.
Efan
Tire inflation
One thing not mentioned is rear gears!!

Pour some Z-max in your gas tank and engine oil. Stuff is pretty amazing.
