Step 1
If your automobile needs a tune up, have it done as soon as possible. Check the oil amount and fill it up if needed. Low oil will cause your engine to work harder. Use synthetic oil if you have to change the oil. Buy a fuel injector cleaner and pour it into your gas tank. Be sure to also check the air filter.

Step 2
Check all four tires to see if they are properly inflated. If tires are not inflated correctly, gas mileage suffers. Check to see if the tire valve covers are in place. They are there for a reason--to keep air inside the tire. Read over your automobile's owner manual for the correct pressure.

Step 3
When standing idle at a red light, gently ease your foot onto the gas pedal when resuming. There's no need to race from a starting position. If you have to do this regularly, make sure to leave from where you were last a few minutes earlier. Keep a steady pace on the roads by following the speed limit.

Step 4
After pumping gas into your automobile, keep your windows closed or at least slightly open to allow air in when driving. This cuts down on the automobile's drag. Run the air condition only if the outdoor temperature is unbearable.
