a daily driver, or a lot of long due maintenance items if your mpg is worse than the average.

You can probably start by removing all your passenger seats and other useless interior parts. Then go out and find some 16" wheels offof an AT. Then get some fender covers off an old caddy and put them on.

Then never idle the car and never rev it above 4,000RPM's. You will surely get better gas mileage.

Use cruise control and coast when possible.

Guys, I don't you are being fair with his question - as it's a completely normal and honest question. Obviously there aren't any parts you can purchase to make mileage better aside from keeping your air filter as clean as possible, and maybe use the cobb accessport to use a lean tune...

Other than that, it's all in how you drive your car. Most people buy prius's and think they will get amazing mileage but end up getting no better because they don't know how to drive the damn car. Just learn to accelerate going down a hill (followed by coasting) and use as little throttle as possible when going uphill. Change gears below 3000rpm when you can.

Anything else is just up to you in how aggressive or leanient you are with your car...
