Need a vehicle with fewer miles

[0050exploder]

Hey guys this is the first forum that I've been on. I just have a couple questions to the first gen guys, my 2000 explorer rolled 300,000 miles last week and it's about time to get a new vehicle however I am a poor starving college kid and need to retain some fuel mileage. I found a pretty nice '93 4x4 my questions are A) what are some cheap mods I can do to squeeze a little more power out of it? B) how much will a set of 31 inch tires affect fuel economy?

My highway mileage dropped form 25 to 18 with 32's

City dropped from 15 to 12.

If your looking for fuel economy,,, stock size pizza cutters only!

There are some power mods but all will cost you economy.

Economy = Bone stock with proper tune up.

If the 2000 is still ticking like a Timex keep it until you can't see through the smoke!
