How is your tire pressure? That alone could explain 3-5 MPG of it. And when was your last replacement of plugs/wires/cap/rotor? Are you carrying any unnecessary loads? Are you heavy on the pedal? I find that just the basics make a big difference in mileage.

In addition to all of the other good suggestions, it might be time for an injector pressure flush and new seals.
