Subject:Plat +4s, high output coil Questions

In my quest to gain all I can out of my 1.9L (85 Westy), I am wondering about
the Bosch Plat +4 plugs and High output coils. Will the plugs gain me anything
or just a waste of money? I am not looking for a power boost, just a MPG gain.
What about high output coils? Will I fry the computer or dizzy? Will I gain
anything out of it? Anyone ever try it? I stuck one in my pickup and it works
real good, it smoothed the engine out a lot and gained a little power. Can I do
it in the Vanagon and if so, what coil should I use.
I assume I would also need to upgrade the wires to better than stock to use the
extra power.
  Any other suggestions to gain MPG I am open to(other than common sense stuff,
tire psi,etc..).
Thanks.
