Default New 2003 ES300 owner!

Hi guys!
I'm a proud new owner of a 2003 Lexus ES300! I bought it for about $10k and it only has about 60K miles on it. This is my first car so i'm still new as to what to do with it in terms of maintenance. I have a few questions (please forgive my ignorance if this was already answered before). First of all my MPG isn't as high as i thought it would be (Getting about 18.5MPG highway) is there anything a newbie like me could do to fix this? Also my windshield wipers won't go down all the way (i could see it when i'm driving and its not in use) Is there anything i could do to fix this?..... I could exchange some computer help for some advice on what to do about this!
thank in advance!

You should be getting around 23-28 MPG depending on the conditions.

I am assuming you are not on the car all the time.

Usually driving with no traffic
What do you mean by you are not on the car all the time?
I let the car warm up in the morning (I was told i really should do this it's pretty cold out these days in new york) then drive it right after

I meant that you are not jumping on the gas and stoplighting. That will kill your mileage.
