First, my '94 850 is getting about 24 MPG overall, about 30 on the road. No complaints with that.

As always, I'm keeping up with all maintenance, inlcuding filters, state of tune, tire pressures, blah blah blah, and driving with a fairly light foot. So all the easy thing for mileage improvements have been done. I still need to check my O2 sensor function though.

With gas prices what they are, what else can be done? Can ECMs be tweaked for improved mileage? What about different cams? (Yeah I know, that probably wouldn't ever pay for itself), anything else?
