Default Improve your MPG??

So im going on a camping trip to Vermont in July and was wondering how i could get my MPG on my Cherokee up so i could drive it up there. It sits stock for now but i probably will do doing a 3-4 lift and 32's (i know not good for gas) so i was looking to improve my MPG. Thanks guys

Go easy on the skinny pedal, drive the speed limit, and use your cruise control if you have it.

None of those would help gas mileage if they were working properly before. And unless you're talking a snorkel or something similar, CAI are junk.
