Go Easy on the Pedals - Do you drive with a "lead foot"? Driving with a lead foot burns a ton of fuel. Accelerate slow and steady and you'll save on fuel.
Drive the Speed Limit - The higher the speed, the more gas your car will use.
Avoid Idling the Engine - Idling burns more gas than restarting an engine.
Clean Out Your Trunk - Excess weight bogs down your vehicle, causing it to burn more fuel.
Go Easy on the A/C - Air conditioning burns gas. Before turning it on, ask yourself if rolling down a window or two might do the trick.
Use Cruise Control - Most automatic transmissions have this feature. If you drive a stick, consult your owner's manual about the recommended RPMs when shifting.
Keep Tires Inflated and Aligned - Believe it or not, frequent alignments and keeping your tires inflated to the proper amount will save you gas.
Honor the Scheduled Maintenance - Scheduled maintenance is designed to help your car run as efficiently as possible. Check your owner's manual for specifics.
