quality plugs, preferably ac delco, brass contact cap and rotor. quality, low resistance wires. clean air filter or k&n filter.

i put a few hundred into a 98 tahoe couple years ago to fix head gaskets. before, i was lucky to get 15 mpg. while i was in there, i upgraded the fuel injection spider unit to the MPFI (google it) also used the parts i mentioned above. at 70 mph it was hittin 19-21. consistently.
