Help Appreciated

I came across this site while on a landscaping forum, and I am very glad to have found it. I own a landscaping company and high fuel prices are killing the industry (also I feel guilty about how much fuel I burn through). Basically I just have some questions that I hope to have answered.

1. I run a 2000 Ford F350 7.3 Liter deisel dually which is all stock and am wondering what cost effective modifications I can do to increase mileage. Keep in mind I tow 7,000 pounds daily and am only moderately mechanically skilled so be specific please. I was thinking of getting a superchip, what do you guys think of these and what brand do you suggest?

2. If diesel hits 5 bucks a gallon im outta business.. I was thinking of trying to make my own biodiesel but have a limited understanding of the process of making it. Any explanation on what equipment is needed as well as the difficulty in producing it would be greatly appreciated. What mixture (percentage) of diesel/biodiesel do you recommend I run and what mods are needed to support it.

I know I am asking a lot of questions but any help with any part of them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
