Default gas mileage

It seems like im not getting the best gas mileage. I was wondering what the best way to get the best gas mileage. I know you can replace the spark plugs or you can clean out your fuel injectors. What other ways are there to improve gas mileage

Default RE: gas mileage

I have a 2003 with 18,000 miles on it and i get anywhere between 150 and 200 miles on a tank. However its rare to get above 175. Oh well, thats probably really crappy, but i like to push my baby!

Make sure your tires are inflated to the proper PSI and that your air filter is clean but the best way is to drive easier (shift sooner). I know it's not as much fun but you asked.
