Anyone know how to get better gas mileage?
Mixed driving? That would be pretty good. My light comes on at ~220 mi, all-city driving.
I know how to get and Insanely good MPG, You turn the car off and push it around. 
Seriously though Keep your Air filter clean, get a less restrictive exhaust but not a full 3 inch, usualy the stock would be best for fuel economy. Get the car tuned on a dyno. Then look at the dyno sheet and try to keep the Revs in the maximum torque range. usualy its around 2750 - 3500 but each car is different. Engines are most effeicient where they make the most torque. That doesn't mean you should be depressing the accellerator hard though. Stay out of boost, and last but not least, use a thin oil like 5W30, But actualy I wouldn't risk you motor by usuing a thinner oil because it was designed to use 10W30 So I would stick with it. Make sure you keep the oil clean and change it on time. Also remove any useless crap from your car, and use allseason tires that will make less contact with the road. There is a bunch of stuff that will add up.

What air pressure are you running in your tires? When is the last time you checked them?

^ Not sure who that's directed to...
But me personally, I run a little higher than the sticker on the stock Advans (35 front, 32 rear). I don't check them too often (maybe once or twice a month), but I'll always notice even a slight drop in tire pressure by either driving or looking at the tire.
