Step 1
This is the most important to get good gas mileage on your car. You must perform oil changes every 3000, 4000, or 5000 miles depending on the age of the car and what type of oil you used. The newer the car the better the engine, so newer cars tend to need a oil change every 5000 miles.

Step 2
Make sure your tire pressure is good. The higher the pressure the more gas mileage you get but it is important not to put the pressure up too high or you will ware away the center of your tire. The lower the pressure the worse mileage you get, this cause a drag on the car making the car work harder and making you apply more acceleration.

Step 3
When driving, press on the gas slowly for the car to build up speed instead of pressing down to make the car go faster quicker, this actually burn more gas. When going down hill let go of the gas let gravity move your car for you.
