Default Sport Brake Adjustment - Rubbing with rotation

I've been pondering why my gas mileage is somewhat less than others have been posting. Then I got my jack stands and floor jack today so I could do home oil changes. Upon jacking up the front of the car, I found that both front wheels rub the brake calipers when I free spin the wheels.

How do I adjust the Akebono sport calipers so the pads don't rub the rotors (when the brakes aren't being applied)? Anyone have some tips? My mountain bike is easy enough to adjust...I'm hoping the car is similar. Maybe my gas mileage will improve.
