1- Anticipate traffic situations. Maintain a consistent, safe, speed, and accelerate and brake smoothly. Don't pump the accelerator only to slam the brakes a few seconds later.
2- Keep an eye not only on your speedometer but also on your tachometer. A lower engine speed means lower fuel consumption.
3- When you're idling, you're getting zero mpg. If you're waiting for our kids at school or paused at a drive-through window, turn off the engine.
4- If you're traveling faster than 50 mph, close your windows--even if you need to put the air conditioning on. Keeping them open will increase aerodynamic drag.
