8. Be sure your tires are properly inflated for the best fuel efficiency.

11. Get rid of extra weight.  The heavier the vehicle, the more gas you’ll use.

13. Don’t ignore maintenance problems.  Fixing an issue before you need a tow truck will save you lots of money!
14. Raise the deductible on your auto insurance which can save you money on your premium.
15. Drive a different car.  Consider trading in your current car for something that will cost less in fuel and maintenance.  If you have multiple vehicles, be sure to take the most fuel-efficient vehicle on longer trips.
16. Walk or bike when possible.
17. Carpool when possible.
18. If you need a drink or snack while on a car trip, stop at a grocery store instead of a gas station.  You can usually buy a 12-pack of drinks in a grocery store for the same price as one drink in a gas station.  The same is true for food!
19. Group errands and appointments to limit trips to town. Less trips = less gas used.
20. If you have multiple stops to make, make a list of the most efficient driving order.
