Arrange your car seat as comfortably as possible, because a comfortable driving position helps you tread more lightly on the gas pedal, which save gas. A "lightfoot" can cut fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Start out without warming up. Most manuals caution you not to do lengthy warm-up. They waste fuel, pollute the air, and increase wear on your car.
Obey the speed limits, especially in city traffic. Traffic lights are set for the local speed limit, so if you maintain a stead legal speed, you will find that the lights turn green as you approach them. The result about 15 percent less fuel consumption.
Try to stay in your lane. Each time you change lanes to pass another car, you wasted fuel because you have to accelerate to pass and sometimes have to step on the brake to avoid hitting the car in front of you when you get back into the lane. The result is up to 30 percent more fuel wasted.
Build up speed slowly before you get to a hill. The extra momentum carries you at least part of the way up. Don't accelerate to maintain your speed while you're climbing unless you're holding up traffic. Keep the gas pedal steady.
