Default better mpg

I have a 99 Explorer with 4x4 auto 4.0l and just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on getting some better mpg. I have been doing all the maintenance with factory replacements so any suggestions on aftermarket would be apreciated.

K & N Filter. I dropped one in mine and get an extra 50-80 miles per tank.
