Air up the tires to highest allowed on the sidewalls. Drive it slow and gentle like a grandma. Find a job where you commute 50 miles each way, and can drive 40 mph without stopping or slowing down.

OK, the last one is a joke.

But the first two are not. Drive slow and gently, plenty of air in the tires. With the auto trans, it is unlikely that will double the fuel economy without doing major surgery. Even then, doubtful.

Good luck though. Every little bit helps.
