The guys/gals with the most success pound away on three areas: driving, aerodynamics, and gearing.

If you are willing to trash your car, you might squeeze 1-2 MPG out of it, but don't kid yourself you can make the engine run any better than the factory engineers can.

Look at the folks who have the goods and imitate what they do.
