• Dump the trunk junk: Especially heavy items you are not using. A extra 100 pounds could reduce your mpg by up to 2 percent. Also, streamline the top of car by removing car top carriers, bike racks. that will help you save.

• Use your cruise control: This helps maintain optimum fuel efficiency with a constant speed.

• Skip the drive thru: Just park and walk-in. Walk-in saves gas and gives you some exercise.
