make sure air filter is clean and dont drive with a heavy foot, thats about it, our cars give a pretty good mpg overall

and check tire press

consolidate your trips. And try to find the best deals on gas. ie.. buy from Safeway if you shop there. Costco gas etc..

don't drive heavy foot, if automatic switch to tiptronic and shift 2 - 2.5rpm, clean air filter or buy KN, check tire air pressure, don't pick up to many friends. drive less

Honestly, to tell you the truth if you cant afford premium gas for these cars, I think you should have went with something on the lighter side.. As for myself, I dont own a G but I do own an FX. The gas mileage is ok. But I enjoy driving so right now, I dont see myself driving slow, shifting below 3k in tiptronic etc etc.. Just my 02.

Put it on cruise control at 65mph all the way and make sure the tires are up to spec pressure wise.

You bought the wrong car if you're worried about gas mileage and if you're a student scraping pennies together.

There isn't anything you can really buy to increase your gas mileage without the possibilty of harm to the motor. And no, performance parts hurt gas mileage for the most part. If your driving highway, just keep it in the 65mph range.
