fuel system cleaning, change the air filter, properly gap the spark plugs......basically do a tune up.

Put a piece of 2x4 under your gas pedal. No seriously, do the tune-up, but your driving habits can make a much bigger change than plugs, filters, & tune-up stuff.

Unfortunately, the biggest things are those you have no control over. Hills & mountains, traffic, distance to work, stuff like that. But whenever you can, drive smoothly & don't nail the gas just because you can't stand to be passed by that mitsubishi...

Check your tire pressure, too.
