How to improve MPG on a 99 Toyota SR5 Prerunner 2.7 eng w/ auto?

Stock sized tires,Bosch 2 point plugs, new spark plug leads ( top shelf not cheap ones), Ams oil in engine,clean stock air filter and intake. 140,000 miles. Currently 22 / 18 MPG.

Is there anyone out there with the same truck who has truely gotten better MPG with a cold air intake and a cat back over sized exhust? Thinking of doing that and maybe change out the twin coils.

I don't need any remarks from 2 pointers. Thank you! Just those who have really done it and can offer up some real information please.

Thank you for the time and effort.

Update:

Alinement, tire pressure, fuel filter are fine.

Again those of you with to much time and want to sling some B.S. STAY AWAY>

    On my '99 Tacoma, I had the suspension checked along with a full alignment. Make sure no tires are wearing wrong and keep your air checked in your tires. I dont know what tires you have but they can make a big difference. I got about 40 more miles a tank.

    Try some nitrogen in your tires. Some say they get a few extra miles per gal.
