VE%

I was going through my Ultragauge and found the Volumetric Efficiency gauge. I did some research and for most cars the average 80-100%. In my car, going a constant speed it stays at 75%, so only 3/4 of the total space of the cylinder is being utilized, which seems lousy. The closer the percentage is to 100 the more power the engine produces, but would that mean more FE?
If so what are some ways to increase VE? Like would a better air filter help?
