If this is a daily driver, better tires. But not wider than 165, too much friction. I get around 25mpg in my 220 with OD. I haven't driven on the highway long enough to go through a tank - somewhere around 240 miles or so.

You could look around for a lower geared differential, but that might hurt your stop and go performance.

It's hard to make up $1,000 in better gas mileage.

Get an alignment if your MPG is bad.
