um.. exhaust actually helped me, keeping it around a certain rpm, tires inflated properly, change your air filter, synthetic oil, better oil filter...

I know, i keep It under 2 on the rpms as much as possible. And I dont abuse the power. I upped my tires to like 28 psi each on a really cold day. They were 20psi!
Keep the advice coming

Try a cold air intake, headers and a Flo master exhaust. Lots of money if you can afford it and if you cant just do one at a time...Tj

Oh yeah where you buy your gas definitely makes a difference. Where I live local to my house I have 4 stations that sell non ethanol gas and out of the 4 only 1 gives me the best MPG's..He happens to buy fuel with higher levels of detergents then the other 3. Not sure if that's the cause or what but I stick with his gas and pay the extra $.04 per gal..

The place I buy gas at was 1.94 a gal...but there neighbor which is crap gas is at 1.88 a gal..All I can say is it's been some time since I could fill up my tank for just over $20...Now if they were at the price I paid when I was 16 now we'd be talking..
