1) Refrain from jackrabbit starts. Gradual starts consume much less gas than abrupt starts.

2) Anticipate traffic conditions to pace your driving. Gentle acceleration and braking will increase your vehicle's fuel efficiency.

3) Drive within posted speed limits. Gas mileage ordinarily increases rapidly when speed is maintained below 60 mph.

4) Use cruise control and overdrive gears for highway driving. Setting cruise control and shifting into overdrive gears when appropriate will enable you to maintain a constant and smooth speed that will reduce your costs at the pump.

5) Eliminate lengthy idling. Turning off and restarting your engine burns less gas than burned while idling for more than a couple of minutes.

6) Fill up with the octane gasoline level recommended for your vehicle. Using the necessary octane level gasoline can contribute to reducing the total amount of your gasoline bill.

7) Avoid topping off. After the automatic nozzle clicks off, refraining from continuing to manually pump extra gas will prevent spillage, slop and seep-out from occurring.

8) Tighten the gas cap. A securely tightened cap prevents gasoline evaporation from occurring in your vehicle's gas tank.

11) Regularly monitor and replace air filters. Replacing clogged and dirty air filters can increase your gas mileage as well as protect your engine.

12) Change your oil.Regularly scheduled oil changes with the recommended grade of motor oil can result in improved fuel economy.
