Cut gasoline costs with just a few simple steps

Don’t Drive Around with Extra Goods:
An extra 100 pounds in the trunk will reduce your fuel economy by 1 to 2 percent in the typical vehicle. Edmunds
Streamline, baby:
Less drag is a good thing: Keep the windows rolled up. Remove those roof and bike racks when not in use.
Controlled Accelerations
Easy, tiger. By accelerating slowly and steadily to our cruising speed, we let the vehicle work more efficiently at becoming an object in motion from an object at rest. If we gun the gas and try to get to speed quickly, then we stand the greater chance of needing to slow down again, losing all 
of that momentum.
Keep the Vehicle Maintained
Dirty oil means more sludge to work through. Keeping your car maintained means saving you from larger repair down the road. Vehicle maintenance saves money, saves the environment, and could save you from being stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Slow down
In a typical family sedan, every 10 miles per hour you drive over 60 is like the price of gasoline going up about 54 cents a gallon. CNN Money
Keep that in mind next time you’re barreling down the freeway to make it to Taco Bell.
Coasting To a Stop
When you see a red light or stop sign coming up, then let of the gas and coast to the stop instead of remaining accelerated and hitting the brakes when you get there. By doing so you not only save gas, but your brakes get less of a workout. You save money in both gas and brake replacement, and the planet saves on valuable resources.
Choose the Best route
Just because it’s the shortest route doesn’t mean it’s the most efficient. You want the smoothest trip as possible while being relatively short. Stop and go routes kill gas mileage.
