Better MPG?
Are there any simple ways to get better MPG? I have an all stock XJ except some mud tires haha, but are there any simple things I can do to get better mpg?

Yo there was just a thread about this, called like '25 MPG, shooting for 30' that is full of tips on better mpg.
Also google hypermiling. And then don't do allot of the stuff cause it's either illegal or very disruptive to traffic lol. But seriously, there are some good tips out there.
Some basics: Accelerate smoothly, brake smoothly, avoid gassing to a redlight, keep your rpms under 2000 while accelerating, don't drive 70 on the highway, drive the speed limit. Umm, no roof rack or spare on the roof, a/c off, windows up. Take all the extra stuff out to reduce weight, dont power up hills and then coast down them, dont drive aggressively.
Should get you started. Also, a tune up and new injectors, CAI, etc will help.
