Advanced Timing?

I've heard for years that advancing the timing will increase fuel mileage, but have never tried it, because I fugured it would just be a hastle trying to find just how much to advance it. Has anyone ever advanced the timing on their car and seen an increase in fuel mileage? If so how much did you advance the timing? I was thinking about trying it on my '88 Escort, it's factory set timing is 8* BTDC. How much would some of you gear heads suggest advancing it?
