add 5+ psi to your tire air pressure will buy you a bit of fuel economy - not huge, but probably more than all those put together.

In general, have never found a way to really improve a car's mpg enough to make effort worthwhile; should/could just choose a different car.
There is a mpg benefit in easing the way you drive, but you knew that.

All just my $.02.



But if you find something that really does makes a difference, promise to post it up with mpg data change please. Does mean that you have to keep track religiously.

In a '94 V-6 I achieved 33.4 mpg on open road by using cruise control and limiting to the speed to < 64mph. This was on two 600+ mile trips. Driving in moderate traffic in Los Angeles I am lucky to get 21 mpg.

At the highway speeds, what the previous poster said about tire inflation definitely effective.
