Okay but seriously, replace the upstream o2 sensor. Having fresh fluids and filters. Make sure tires have the correct pressure. Making sure you don't have a cracked exhaust manifold. Running Seafoam through the gas tank and intake. And if you're lifted with bigger tires, regear it. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

And these 4 hole injectors he is speaking of won't give you an mpg boost. 1 out of 10 people who upgrade their injectors see an increase in mpgs because their old injectors were dirty and gunked up. All you would need to do is run injector cleaner (like Seafoam, as i mentioned already) to see this theoretical mpg or two.
I will agree with you though, where you say that the way drive has a lot to do with mpgs. Slow and steady take offs rather than gunning it from a stop will give you a nice boost in mpgs
