For most people in your position I usually suggest the 3HL kit.

And in your case an extractor upgrade

I would recommend the Dev3HL cam it worked well for me in the auto fairmont. No nasty surprises, lots more power, didn't need to change the ECU and good idle and mid range with a strong top end.

The cam didn't make it more economical thats for sure but no real difference at legal speeds on the highway. It will use more around town though maybe 10% more even!.

But if you are worried about the difference in fuel economy you would save lots of money by not buying the cam than you would spend on fuel after you bought it in a year.

prices are all on the site http://www.jimmockmotorsport.com/
