The only thing I can think of is the Osiris tune. One of my 5 maps is a "fuel saver" setting. Other than that adjusting your driving habits is the only thing you can do.

Damn I figured a cai would help, usually does on most cars.

Anything specific needs to be done to the car for that tune?

if you do not go over 2 you are not giving enough gas, shift at 3k or less. Staying on the throttle too long will get you poor mpg, what MPG are you receiving now?

Well I drive 2003 g35 sedan automatic.

Full tank will give me about 300-310ish

I get 320-330 miles a tank in mostly spirited, almost all city driving. You might get better gas mileage if you upped the revs a bit.

Miles per "tank" = meaningless number.

Fuel Economy is measured in MPG (Miles per Gallon)

Ok so i bought some headlights but they are halogen (h1 bulb) and i have the stock hids on my car (d2r bulb) so i was thinkin can i buy h1 hid bulbs , cut the wires from them , cut the wires from my stock d2r bulbs , and put them together so they work with the stock ballast, that way i have h1 hids. Would this work? I dont wanna go thru the mission in buying new ballast and all that stuff.

Ps. I know is gonna make the glare but w.e

95% of the time I do highway driving.
I upped the revs a bit today and actually saw my gas go down quicker. I'm clueless

I get 20.xx mpg pertank consistently, thats a little over 400 per tank.

Stop at 3k, give it some gas. If you been granny driving this whole time you need some time to learn
