Although these are not choices that I would do myself, anyone desperate for more mpg's could reconsider the tires that one buys the next time. Select:
1) narrow, high-profile or aspect ratio, e.g., 70 or 75 or higher.
2) high-mileage, and/or rated traction=C, model tire -- this ensures a harder rubber compound.

These will reduce "rolling resistance", and thus increase your mpg.

Not that I would do it, though -- I like maximizing my traction, instead.
