Gas saving or more $$$ spending
In general stock is better but I want to go gas saving with a little more power. I was thinking a ugraded air fiilter (not force air intake), exhaust system, lighter wheels and thats it or is there a easier way?

If you had more power you would use it There would be no gas savings. Even if you did save any gas it would not be enough to recover your costs of the mods. Save your money.

Probably saving your money is the best bet. If you're itching to buy a new air filter the only one I recommend is the AFE drop in filter (dry). It's cheap and doesn't use oil so you won't have to worry about clogging your MAF sensor. No point in buying a cold air intake or anything like that.

I don't think there's much you can add to help you save on gas. The one thing that you can do and also free is change your driving habits. Keep it at 55mph on the highway and you'll probably see an increase in your MPGs.
