Low rolling resistance tires, taller tires and topped up tire pressures will all make a significant difference to your results. Pumping tires to a higher pressure is free and pays immediate dividends.

NOTE: taller tires will throw off your odometer reading, so you may need to rely on phone GPS recording to know what mileage you're actually getting.
