A turbo will be your best option if you want to increase or keep the same mpg. Its just a proven fact that turbo's are more efficient.

prolly not the answer your looking for... but if i were in your shoes id invest in a prius or a bike... just because 200miles a day is a grip of miles and while the v6 has some mpg... not nearly as much as what you want to be saving.. anyways for mods... a simple tune can help.. turbo is better for gas since it takes about 16-29hours to build up...

BIKE was my first pick too but being that i cant put what i carry on it, it get's the sharpie ran across PRIUS on the other hand was even test driven and handle's very well & dose have a few pony under her hood. but on the fly U looking for a job? all u do is drive around... what car would u pick? gas is payed up to a point { or i'd be driving a roush } LOL

i have a saturn sc1 thats used as well but honestly i spend 3-5 bux a day to ride in style.... either way i have to buy new tire's and change the oil... that 3-5 a day spent save's me 10 grand in tax's.... spending 5 g's on a turbo for my work car is even more wright off all so if i can fit 3-7 more stop's becuz my car is a lil faster guess what that's $2-$10 a stop..... making me $15-$40 more a DAY 5 days a week....

if you decide to get a turbo make sure to use full synthetic oil such as mobil 1 , Royal Purple,or Redline.Dont forget to change your oil regularly and idle your car for a minute
after driving it hard.
