Question: Low mileage. What to do to increase mileage?

Hello,

My 2008 Pontiac g6 gt gives me around 20 mpg. I have tried changing the air filter, using techron additive and shell gasoline. I was wondering if there was anything to be checked to get high way mileage of around 22-23mpg?

Thanks for your help
