Default Improving fuel economy?

Hi guys

I've got an EB Ghia V8 that is my daily driver and I'm looking for any ways to improve my fuel economy.

I do ~60km a day.
About 90% of my driving is highway, cruising between 80-110kmh.
My current fuel economy is between 12-13l/100km.
Mods are - Extractors, 2.5" exhaust, EL GT snorkel. The car is a 5.0 auto with a 3.23 lsd.

Are there any simple/cheap things I can do to improve my economy, has anyone had any good results with J3 chips? any driving techniques that can help?

BTW Replacing the EB with a more efficient car is out of the question
