One thing that will help with mileage would be to keep your tires properly inflated. This is a small thing that many people overlook. I picked up a digital pressure tire gauge for about 10 bucks and with the amount of driving I do it has easily paid for itself. You could also go above the recommended tire pressure, but I wouldn't over do it. It makes for less rolling resistance, but the ride might be harsher and like under inflated tires, over inflating and lead to reduced tire life. I purchased some lightweight 17" wheels and the nitto tires that came with them have a recommended pressure of 51. I checked my pressure after going to a tire shop and had them check it for me, they were only putting 32psi, which cost me some mileage. Of course, you could always get a "performance" chip off of ebay, lol
