I don't think you missed anything. He was just hoping someone could tell him, in a time when Corvettes with twice the horsepower get twice the MPG of a Hummer, if there was a way to squeak a couple extra MPG out of the inline 5.
From the looks of the response here, I'd say the answer is no.
I wonder how all these upstanding citizens would react if he found a low-cost way to get 10 MPG better than factory without affecting driveability? Just saying...

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
It is what it is ... you're not going to squeeze any more mileage out of it. About the best thing you can do is routine maintenance, so you don't LOSE any mileage. Maybe switch to synthetic oil if you live in a cold climate?
The rest is academic ... a light foot, light load, proper tire pressure and no exterior accessories (roof rack, grille guard, mud tires, etc.)

It's a bit of a losing cause, isn't it? 
If someone figures out how to overcome physics, gas mileage won't be an issue anymore... but weight and lack of aerodynamics are formidable opponants.
