5.3L V8... Not a mechanical type and I'm curious what type of things I could do to help fuel economy? Air filter, exhaust, computer chip??? Or am I just stuck with what it gets.. Thanks!

Kill engine and coast down hills.

Use the skinny pedal less.
No modification is going to make half the difference that changing your driving style will. Get something that monitors your MPGs so you can see what you're doing. Nothing makes you easier on the throttle like seeing live how much money you're wasting.
The difference between putting your cruise on 65 and 72 is pretty incredible in some vehicles.

Intake and exhaust will probably get you 1-2mpg I guess. A full tune-up might also get you 1-2mpg. By full, I mean complete. I can ramble off all of the things, but only will if you really want me to
I think you can monitor instant fuel economy on the dash. If you can't, get a scan gauge 2 and monitor it that way. I wouldn't frick with the computer

I guess it's not feasible to trade it in for a minivan with a 4cyl?
