Default Fuel Economy....Not!

On the highway, I average 15.85MPG ('bout 12mpg city) in my cruiser. Stock everything. Any suggestions (mild to moderate) for increasing MPG?

I always knew these vehicles were not great on gas, but in light of recent gas prices...I am more and more interested in ways to go a little farther each tank. Thanks in advance.

Adam

You should be able to get up to 20 mpg. That's what I get on highway cruises (not freeway). In around town, 15 mpg. With boat behind, even less...
Running on Dunlop GrandTrek and put the cross members for the roof rack close together (not for mileage, but mainly because of the noise if they are close to the sun roof).
