Your car
There are numerous other ways to improve fuel economy beyond engine oil and tire inflation. Think about your car's alignment. Your tires were designed to travel in a straight line; they only chirp when turning a corner sharply, right? If your wheels are not perfectly parallel, then your tires are "scrubbing" and creating drag or rolling resistance. Look into it.
What about your massive SUV and its front push-bar and rear bumper with 7,000-lb winch? That's obvious. The heavier the vehicle, the more fuel it will consume. Same goes for aerodynamics. Do you have a cargo box on your roof? There you go.
There are many more tips and things to consider in order to reduce gas consumption including the way you drive and what you drive.
