Best bet is to just drive slower. If I drive at 70, I get 29 MPG. If I drive at 63, I get 32.5 MPG.

Also, I did all this and saw no difference in MPG-
New NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
Seafoam
K&N Filter
Always check tire air pressure

I also added headers and Comptech intake and saw no difference in mileage. But when I replaced the OEM tires (and wheels) with PZero Neros 235R40x18, I noticed a drop of 2 MPG. I drive all PA turnpike and was really surprised by that...

I just switched back to OEM tires for the winter and got my normal mileage back.

I also just got my timing belt replaced (120,000) and will be checking mileage impact...
