Default gas mileage

Hey guys,
my buddy just got an 850 turbo and he is getting mileage in the 27 or 28 mpg range on the highway. I am getting 21 or 22 and would love to get close to what he is getting on my R wagon. What areas do I need to check to get better mpg?

How old it the tune up parts in your car?
Have you replaced all the vacuum lines?
Intercooler hoses all good?

I dont know when the last tune up was done on the car but I can find out. They would know when the last time the hoses had been inspected and replaced as well. Thanks for helping me again
