Drive slower (stay within the speed limit) on the highways and you'll notice a huge improvement.
In town, avoid jack rabbit starts, leave extra room in front when following traffic to avoid constant breaking/accelerating, don't jockey for position in traffic, slow naturally when approaching caution/stop lights; and plan in-town trips to (shopping especially) to reduce the number of times you're out driving around.
Using this approach, the mileage we're getting is:
-- City driving 10.5 L/100km, or 26.9 IMP mpg, or 22.4 US mpg
-- Highway (at 100 kph) 8.5 L/100km, or 33.23 IMP mpg, or 27.67 US mpg
We just turned over 19,000 kms during the past year.
