This may sound crazy but it works....When I drive I do what's called "hypermiling". Basically change your driving habits and don't pound on the gas pedal. Look far ahead and try to avoid as much hard braking as possible. If you accelerate try to COAST the vehicle to the point where you only have to barely apply the brakes to stop.

Obviously you have to pay more attention and it's tougher to do this in heavy traffic as you'll "hyper" (coast) along at almost the exact speed limit and only accelerating when needed. This does frustrate the lead foot drivers but this does work.

I was doing this when gas was over $4 a gallon and saved a lot! I squeezed another 4mpg per gallon driving this way. I drive over 400 miles a week so the savings really add up!
