you could try lowering the idle of your engine, but beware though, if its too low, your engine would produce knocking sounds or tope.

don't use AC, weight reduction, keep up with the recommended maintenance, make sure clean and fuel hoses mo, filter, injection.

Addendum: Planned trips, less car usage, use power star (as seen on tv). Haven't used it though. Don't know if it's effective.

Check tire pressure every 2-4 weeks.
For weigh reduction - remove rear seats if unused and spare tire.
