I've had good results with the K&N high-flow air filter. Look in the Engine/Transmission Section of this RX 300 forum for more info.

Just hop on a search engine and type in "improving gas mileage", you'll get all the advice you'll need or want.

Mario, can you be more specific?? You can't normally expect to achieve EPA numbers; rule of thumb is about 10% less, both "highway" and "city".

My wife's 99 AWD without roof rack has lifetime average of 17.2 mpg of mostly suburban miles. Some do a little better. But you might want to calculate the difference in cost to run 15 mpg vs 20 mpg assuming, say, 12k miles/year at $1.50/gal. Hint: it's not very much.
