Trouble with some of the specific suggestions listed below is that you still have to drive with the traffic around you, so how do you dramatically change your driving style just to try to maximize mpg's when you have other things that are probably more important, like keeping out of an accident etc. generally, the lighter your right foot is, the better you will do. I have an 02 Aero with the auto trans, and average about 28, with 31-32 seen often on the highway. I drive the speed limit in most cases,sometimes 5 under or over if traffic and conditions warrant. I believe that those numbers should be reproducible in your car, but also have noted in the past that things on the roof cut into the mileage. I cannot say how roof bars only affect it, but roof bars and a bike are probably good for 5 mpg at highway speeds. Not much difference around town though.
