Don't warm your car up by letting it idle. The engine warms up faster when driving than it does when idling, and idling wastes about a quart of gas every 15 minutes.

Tip 4: Keeping Your Vehicle Tuned
Keep your car properly tuned. A poorly tuned car uses between 25% and 33% more gasoline each year. It's cheaper to pay the cost of a tune-up.
Potential Money Savings: $150-250/yr.

Tip 3: Smart Insurance Planning
Ask your insurance agent how much money you can save by raising the deductible on your auto collision insurance. Often, raising the deductible from $200 to $500 can save you 10% to 30%. If you have a good driving record, you could come out ahead.
Potential Money Savings: $50-225/yr.

Tip 2: Stopping Wasteful Driving Habits
Wasteful driving habits can double your fuel consumption. Develop gas-saving habits, such as:
(1) Always accelerate gently;
(2) Watch traffic ahead of you so you can anticipate slow-downs and avoid stops;
(3) Coast up to traffic jams by lifting your foot off the gas pedal instead of approaching at full speed and slamming on the brakes. It takes 20% more gas to accelerate to normal speed from a full stop than it does from four or five miles per hour;
(4) Don't drive too fast or too slow. It takes 20% to 30% more gas to drive at 70 mph than 50 mph;
(5) Maintain a steady speed on the highway. Avoid getting stuck behind slow cars where you have to slow down to their pace and then speed up to pass.
