Some simple tips:
1. The more you use the A/C, the more gas is used.
2. Have proper inflation of the tires.
3. Driving faster than 65 MPH most likely will kill your gas milage.
4. Find routes that you don't have to go up a hill.
5. Avoid fast starts (you know who you are when you step on that gas!)
6. Clean you car regularly, and don't carry junk in your car UNLESS you live in it!
7. Try differnt gas stations.
8. Avoid going to the 1/4 mile track.
9. If you carpool, don't expect that milage to be good.
10. Remove your rear seats, if your really crazy, remove your spare tire and jacks.
Things to avoid doing for better gas milage, but can't resist doing anyways:
1. Do not put on body kits, woodies, extras etc. UNLESS you don't care about gas milage. This includes boomers and things that actually beat db ratings of a Boeing 747.
2. To plainly put it, don't put anything in the car that adds weight.
Somethings that MIGHT help gas milage.
1. Better intake.
2. Better exhaust.
3. Lighter rims and tires.
4. Better suspension/struts/and springs (the whole combo here).
5. Spark Plug and Ignitions wires, maybe............
6. Better quality of oil and oil filters.
7. Change out tranny fluids and coolant - Don't expect this to change the gas milage, but running dirty stuff isnt good either.
