I could go into more detail, but this page actually covers a lot mods
that you can make.

Interestingly, more power typically increases fuel economy - at least in
these turbocharged diesels.  Actually, with the box on the back, you
might not be able to get more than that your current economy.  18MPG
unloaded, in mixed driving, is about average for those vehciles in stock
form, and 22MPG is on the average after mods are made.  Even with these
mods you might not break 18MPG.
