Default what mods to do to get better mpg?

ive seen ppl getting over 30+ mpgs combined city and highway and i was wondering what mods can i do to get the same? im getting 28 mpg avg, but with gas prices these days a few more miles every gallon would help alot.

Intake helps

This topic has been covered several times.. Try searching (link in the top right of the website)

I'd start off with..

Replace spark plugs, plug wires if needed, fuel filter, run some injector cleaner, seafoam the engine, dist cap, rotor button..check your tire pressure...,etc

When is the last time you did and tune up

do window visors and sunroof deflectors decrease mpg by ruining the aerodynamics?

i doubt those subtle changes are going to ever amount into a mpg decrease
