Default what all can i do for better gad mileage???

ok so i read that other post about mileage but it was for cars i guess with upgrades and what not...So i think that the only thing ive changed on my car since ive had it for about 5yrs now is the spark plugs(about 2yrs ago) and a different intake.So what all can i do that would be better for mileage and would just be better for my car anyways?

No... just read what everyone said in that last one.... Intake, Header, Exhaust.... that's your first step... when you want power start forgetting HP because more power means you step on the gas, meaning horrible mileage.

well all i have right now is an AEM intake and a muffler not all the way from header system....i was just wanting to see if there was little things cause i dont wanna be wasting my money for all that big stuff just to maybe get 3-4 mpg.

some common things to look at for getting better gas mileage are...
check the air filter to make sure its not being restricted
check your tire size and tread wear
get a tune up
look at your brakes to make sure they dont have excessive drag
