Check the brakes, even slightly binding brakes affects mpg.
Remove the pads and clean all contact surfaces from rust and dirt, remove the anti-squeal rubber if they are starting to break up. This gives a more distinct return. "Energy"-tires seems to have a positive effect but i guess it is less than advertised, hard to tell :)
