But swivel is right, green is eco-friendly and saves gas.

OP, how many miles on your car??
It you are around 100k, change your spark plugs. Also, regardless of mileage on your odo, check/change/upgrade your air filter. Drain and fill all other fluids in the car. Get a fuel system cleaning done at a service center or dealership. Switch to synthetic oil if you haven't already. If you are easy on your car try a 0W-20 oil like Eneos. Use premium gas if you don't already. Use your cruise control as much as possible.
Alot of this stuff is regular common knoweldge stuff that rings true for any make/model of vehicle. Even if you do all these things, you probably still won't see a HUGE increase in mpg. Like everybody has already said, the G wasn't made to be a super fuel efficient car and the VQ isn't a super fuel efficient engine.
Good Luck! Hope this helps! At least gas isn't as expensive now as it was last summer!

But I get 20.8 mpg overall, city/highway, so that doesn't look good if you drive highway.
