not really just keep up with a good tune.. let up a little bit on the gas pedal.. keep the a/c off more.

tires

How about going to larger tires like 205/60R16, from the stock 205/55R16? Minimal change but an extra 1/4" of ground clearance probably wouldnt hurt either.

i think you would spend more in $$ to buy the tires than the gas$$ you would save.
