Default Improve Mileage without decreasing performance?

Hi All,
I have a 2013 XB, it is pretty stock from the factory... and I am looking to make a few modifications to it.

The first though, relates to the mileage that i am currently getting. i do a lot of freeway driving, and am averaging about 22mpg.

I am fairly consistent with gas, and not flooring it, etc.... any recommendations on what I can do to improve the number of miles i get to the gallon?

What jct said. Also, make sure your tires are filled with the recommended amount of air. Also, make sure your air filter is clean/new. If it's an auto make sure your overdrive is set to on.
