Tuning for mpg

I know I'm gonna get a bunch of stupid responses to this one, but has anyone here tried tuning their 8 for mpg? or even if you haven't "tuned" it, does anyone have suggestions to up the mpg?

Thanks

i hear if you don't go over 4,000 rpm you save some gas of course if thats the case why not make it 3,000 or 2,000 rpm limit. im sureee you will save gas. let me know how it works out goin 45 mph on the freeway

this might be kinda a fluke but when i talked to the pettit guys, they said that buying there supercharger might if not will give you better mileage. but thats only IF you drive carefully and the speed limit and arent on the gas a lot. if your considering this option though, i dont think you have saving gas in mind.
