i just got a 2004 corolla ce and ive noticed that my mpg average rate is not at its potential. By monitoring the odometer, ive noticed that ive been getting up to 23 mpg without flooring the car of course. I did check the air filter and it does look a bit dirty so i wanted to know if i should change it or change any fluid/oils in the car and maybe even add a cool air intake system to boost the mpg. let me know what you guys think. thanks

There is something seriously wrong if your only getting 15 mpg in a corolla. Might as well be driving a SUV aka schoolbus.

Are you sure you calculated the fuel economy properly? How do you calculate fuel economy by watching the speedometer?
