Drive less. And slower. And make sure you're up to date on all maintenance.

Start out gently from a stop. Never give it more accelerator than it needs. Over-inflate the tires just a little. And like Ryan said - maintenance. Clean 5W-20 oil. Clean air filter. Fresh spark plugs and spark plug wires.

Oh, and a Tornado.

Re: is there a way to be more fuel sufficient?
Costs me $60 to fill up my tank, and i've managed to last it 4 days so far, and 3/4 of a tank still there. I drive mainly city, and if you drive like a grandma, accelerating slowly, stopping as little as possible, you can squeeze a little more than 28 mpg. That is, as previously said, if you keep up on all your maintenance. Mine's stock, so yea....

Re: is there a way to be more fuel sufficient?
I had some audio system installed in my cat when I bought it and used to visit gas station about once a week. After I have removed 2 amplifiers and a subwoofer and have made a stock audio setup I managed to last 2 weeks without visiting the gas station. Mostly driving in the city. So there is something to consider if you have some additional audio equipment installed and want to be economical

Seems to me something maybe wrong with your car you should get 25mpg easy unless you have something in your car that enjoys the taste of gas
