Read up on the Efficiency mods :
65+ Vehicle modifications for better fuel economy - EcoModder.com
and the Hypermiling tips :
100+ Hypermiling / ecodriving tips & tactics for better mpg - EcoModder.com
and start applying as many as possible, as often as possible.
Many require only a change in driving habits, though you're probably already using a number of them to get those 40mpg.

After a while the new tricks become habits, and you can add a few other tricks.
From time to time I go over both lists to see what else I can do to further improve my FE.

It's not something that just happens the next day because you want it to.
It takes quite some time, practice, and effort.
It's really a work in progress.


What mods have you done, and what habits have you picked up already ?

If you're not doing so already, start a fuel log and keep note of changes you make to the car and your driving habits..
