I just keep on top of servicing and keep weight down as much as possible - makes a massive difference. My 90's an ex-mod soft top and aside from a set of rubber mats, a roof tent and a fridge, I won't bolt anything else to it. On the last trip I was with some heavily kitted out cruisers, and I reckon I was using way over 40l less fuel between stops. Mind you, that was nothing to dance about when fuel was 4p a litre  - makes you wonder why we bother in the UK when the rest of the worlld is busy spraying the stuff about like piss.
