My wife and I are both very light-footed, so it's not a driving issue. Aside from tire pressure and tuneup, is there any way to improve on this gas mileage?

We really like this car and only paid 9 K for it, but if I'd known about the mileage issue I wouldn't have bought it.
haha sounds about like my experience(except the buying part and wife and mine has cruise) but however dad and i have been driving from our house in north carolina down here to columbia south carolina(yeah keep a watch out for the brightlight pc :P) and heck i figured up the avg gas mileage for coming back..and it was 26 mpg!! i was like holy s***(dad got mad cuz i said that) it has NEVER got that much mileage
