Another tip, not really about mileage, but about getting more gas for your $$ fill up at night or early morning, colder gas is more dense. Also, run the pump at the slowest setting. When the pump runs real fast you get air bubbles running through the pump that still count as volume. Running slower cuts down the bubbles and you get more actual gas per gallon.
Thats an interesting tip.

A good tune-up can help. If your spark plugs are old they could use replacing they're only like $4 a piece. Replace the air filter with a clean one. I only use paper filters. They don't flow as much as K&N filters but they also let A LOT less dirt into your engine. Good way to keep tires properly inflated is use a piece of chalk draw a line across the tires and if the wear is uneven then you need to change the pressure. Chalk worn off in the middle means over inflation, edges means underinflation.

That's a really good way to put it, and an easy way for people to keep an eye on it!
