How deep are your pockets and what are you willing to do?

Just learning to drive it proper for mpg will probably give the biggest benefit.

But some fairly easy things you can do:

Full tune-up
Air up tires, try 35-40psi
Replace tires with low rolling resistance ones
Front lip + lower car (aero)

What do you mean "low rolling resistance ones"?

1-2k (lower the better) . looking to keep atleast 2-4 years for school and work.

Along with the air pressure, a great alignment done goes a long way in gas mileage. Replacing your worn suspension parts then having an alignment done will give you the best starting point.

Don't do that!

Thanks for the link

the higher the mileage = the looser the engine turns which is best for mileage. the bad thing is that the seals are old.

use thinner weight oil but becareful.

probably put a different final drive and drive slower to keep the rpms down.

Warm your car up to FULL operating temp before driving.
I see alot of people who dont do this because newer cars you dont have to sit and wait like oldder ones.
Hit the middle temp line or wait until idle fully drops then go.I notice i waste less gas this way instead of driving while its cold

You sure? I always thought it was cars older than CBs that need to be warm before driving. I thought with the Fuel Injection and O2 sensors they kinda handled the mixing and what not, where as the carb'd cars were the ones that needed to be warmed up before driving.

while you are "warming" up your car you are getting ZERO mpg.

yes but when the car is at op temp you get a little better compression because the pistons and rings have expanded to fit the cylinder better.

proper valve adjustment is often over looked and can make quite a difference. later.
