Pump the tyres up, empty the boot and don't brake for anything.

Not a lot. 27mpg from an ML320 is good. Best I ever got was 29MPG, worst was 8mpg under hard acceleration (well thats what the computer thing in the roof said!)

I know I wrote the above in my usualy style (or lack of) however I do believe it. If your tyres are nder inflated you will use more fuel, if you are carrying around extra weight you will use more fuel and everytime you press the brake pedal you are dissipating energy that you have paid for. If you can slow down by just easing off the throttle rather than hard on the gas then hard on the brakes you will use a lot less fuel. You may also be less stressed whilst doing it as well.
