Already did the dual plug mod found here on the FRF and am looking at other methods to squeeze those mpg's! any insight and assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

- Always run premium fuel
- Always let it warm up a couple minutes before pulling off
- I'd suggest switching to a synthetic oil, I prefer the Mobil1 or Valovoline
- Maintain 55-65 MPH on freeway
- Dont hot foot it from stop light to stop light
- stay up on all the maintenance
- NGK Plugs/wires (my opinion) if nothing else stay stock
- Monitor air pressure, DON'T stick to the 35PSI rule
- Maybe invest in high resistance tires
All else fails.., Buy a Prius take off the hatch. MPG and pick-up bed Achievement unlocked !!
