New xB owner going for the MPG's

Just started hypermiling when I got this new (used) car - a 2005 Scion Xb which I have dubbed 'Kelvinator.'
Right now my best tank is 31.4 MPG.

I work as a handyman so I needed something that can hold a bunch of tools and has a decent roof to put a rack on.
I got a ProRac which sits low and the crossbars are sort of aero.
I try not to drive with the ladder on top except when I really need it.

My SG2 is on order, I'm looking to take out the back seats, and I plan on building a fuel injector cut-out.

Speaking of that project...
Can anyone recommend which brand of service manual to buy for this car, or where I can find schematics online???

Thanks!
