Keep your car as long as you can. Fight the urge to trade it in. Not buying a new car is one of the most environmentally friendly choices you can make. When you do have to buy a new car, buy a hybrid or at the least a small compact car.
Drive the speed limit. Don't be in such a hurry, drive slower. This saves on gas!
Keep your vehicle maintenance up. Tune-ups, tires rotated, oil changed, etc. You can actually save up to .10 a gallon at the gas pump when your car is in tip top shape.
Keep the junk out of your trunk. All that extra weight makes your engine work harder and reduces gas mileage per gallon.
Use your cruise control. Using cruise control increases gas mileage!
Use your AC as little as possible and roll down the windows when you can. Using the AC uses more gas.
Combine your errand into one trip. Run several errands at one time, saving on gas, instead of making several trips out.
