Check tire pressure. Make sure its as indicated on the tire itself.
Clean the air filter. Make sure your air filter is replaced regularly. If it is a K&N, wash it with the precharger kit.
Fuel injector cleaner is good, just run a bottle with a good full tank to help out. I use the STP stuff at Crappy Trash.
Check your catalytic converter to see if its blocked. You may have to bring it to a shop to be checked out.
High output audio systems can put a massive drain on the alternator and fuel economy. Unplug the system and you may see some improvement. (This item is debatable)
Install a UDP. That will surely help in the fuel economy department.
Make sure your plug wires and plugs are running good. Replace them if they're bad with Motorcraft plugs and wires (or any good wires like Screamin Demon coil and livewires).
Remove any excess baggage in your trunk. For every 100lbs added to your car, you will probably lose around 1mpg.
Change your driving habits, take it easy on the throttle when starting from a stop.
There are a few other things to check but this covers most of the problems.
