One other note on the chip tuning, odds are it won't increase economy because it can't alter timing. On my car, I opted for larger elements which gave it a "crapload" of power and the increased combustion efficiency has raised my highway mileage to 34 with a peak of 37.
Rocketchip claims that, on my particular car, their experience has been a 3-4 mpg increase with a Stage 2 tuning....they've evidently done quite a few of them.

On longevity, I'm thinking more smoking cigars, drinking Scotch, that sort of thing...
