Improve MPG

What can I do to improve my gas mileage? Will an intake help? I'm new to Toyota's and cars for that matter, I had a Jeep, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

What fuel are you using? Upgrading your fuel from regular to premium will give you better mialage. See my post in the Matrix forum under "XRS and Fuel Type" for the maths...

Intake might help, a short ram certainly made a little difference on the Corolla... But it is negligable...

Tune up, new O2 sensors, intake, and keep the RPM low.
