New here, glad I have my Chevy back

Just got back into a Chevy after 5+ years. Had an '07 Cobalt with a couple mods, nothing special. Got rid of it for god only knows what reason, but had the opportunity to get into a '10 HHR. If anyone has any suggestions on safe, reliable ways for me to improve MPG, please let me know. Also, the car was bought used. What are all the things I should replace right away? Thanks for any help! Glad to have my Chevy back!

Look into hptuners and your exhaust and intake cam timing you can pull a few mpg's out with some minor adjustments for crusing
