Default Camry 2002 XLE 4Cyl v2.4 Consumes Alot of Fuel

Any one have got any ideas? I hardly get 17 MPG while it should be 21 MPG. Anyone know how to fix this? or any tips to improve mpg?

1. change driving habits
2. change driving habits
3 change driving habits

that's the holy mantra of hypermilers. also, stay away from cheap gas, routinely run gas treatment through fuel system, properly inflate tires, do not run with a/c on, or windows down. avoid sharp braking or accelerating. speeds above 55mph will kill mpg.

basically, drive like an old fart on tranquilizers.
install K&N air filter. I do on all cars.

woulda be nice if it coulda what it shoulda.
