Cruise Control
Check tire pressures
Empty things out from the car that you don't need
Windows up on freeway
Maintenance - O2 sensors, spark plugs, etc...
No hard accelerations when not needed
Use AC sparingly
Lose weight

My best MPG was when I was cruising at 70-75mph. I believe the RPM's where around 3300 but my MPG was 31.5. H22A, factory computer, intake and exhaust.

I'm looking to surpass that once I get my S300 street tuned.

AZ may have heat, but it dont have the humidity and that's what kills it

The JDM M2A4 has a longer 5th gear .787 ratio. This is an option for you.
