Reduce your driving speed on the highway by 10 miles per hour than your usual speed. Slower speeds requires less gasoline and conserves gas.
Step2
Accelerate slowly from a stop. Slower acceleration requires less gasoline than fast, quick acceleration from a stop.
Step3
Check your car's tire pressures on a regular basis to ensure proper pressure is maintained. If the pressures are too low, the car will consume more gas.

Tint your windows and buy white (or light colored) vehicles, this will reduce the summer heat load on the air conditioning system in the car. The higher the heat load on the car, the higher the AC system pressures will be and it would take more horsepower to drive the AC compressor.

I would love to give add to the tune up section... A lot of auto shops don't inform customers to change your fuel injectors
I had a little over 75K miles and purchased rebuilt injectors, my husband installed them really easily. When we turned the car on, I could tell it even sounded smoother. But better yet, I saved $10 a week on gas expenses from daily commuting to and from work. I just looked them up on google and ebay ads came up. The set only cost me a little under $125 for my Crown Victoria.
I feel like I'm helping in some way and saving $ on fuel!
