Vehicle Tips
	Keep your tires properly inflated and check them frequently.		Make sure your brakes are not dragging.
	Keep your front suspension and steering in proper alignment.		Repair body damage. That crunched front fender adds aerodynamic drag — just ask any race car driver.
	Use the thinnest viscosity oil that your car’s manufacturer recommends.		Don’t use premium fuel if your car does not require it; using it is an unnecessary expense.
	Keep your engine in proper mechanical condition.		Don’t waste your money on those late night “as seen on TV” products that are supposed to increase your mileage.
	Keep your engine in tune and make sure the air and fuel filters are clean.

Driving Tips
	Avoid excessive warm-up time. Modern engines do not require it.		Plan your trips wisely. If you need to go to several places, plan a route that allows you to run most or all of your errands in one outing.
	Don’t idle your engine for long periods. Turn off your engine when you leave the car or have to wait a long time.		Empty the trunk! Extra clothes, overdue library books, tools and the bag of aluminum cans that you have been meaning to take to the recycler all weigh down your car unnecessarily.
	Avoid jackrabbit starts.		Car-pool whenever possible or practical.
	Keep your speed at 55 miles per hour/95 kilometers per hour or less whenever possible.		Listen to radio reports for alternate routes around congested areas.
	For newer vehicles with aerodynamic designs, close the windows and turn on the air conditioning when driving on the freeway.		Drive in the highest gear possible.
	For older cars with inefficient air conditioning compressors, use the ventilation system and close the windows, temperature permitting.		Try to keep your speed constant.
	Anticipate merging traffic and stoplights — decelerate and accelerate smoothly.		Use cruise control when on long stretches of road.
