Save gas - use your foot

By using your right feet properly you can gain 35% more out of your current vehicle. Here are the tips:
1) Roll your windows, reducing the use of air conditioning
2)Use cruise control on the highway which has big impact on the economy
3)Let go off your right foot in the city by accelerating slowly in the green light and stopping slowly on red lights. As soon as you sense that you will not be able to make the green light in an intersection do not accelerate let the car slow down and put the brakes for stopping near the traffic light. This saves approx 25% to 35% of the fuel. This takes some time to get used to and you might have somebody at the back honking but if you continue this is a big saver!
4) Inflate your tires and keep them inflated to their optimum level
5) Regularly change oil based on the manufacturer's recommendations and if you do the vehicle will consume less gas.
6) Find the cheapest gasoline station and you can easily find them if you look across the street, in one intersection you would atleast find one that is priced few cents less than the other stations. Compare with costco or sams club.
7) Save some money in your wallet!!

Here is a better suggestion, use a bike, take public transport, or even walk if you can.
In England they are talking about the possibility of petrol costing £5-00 per litre.
That apparently will end the use of cars permanently. So hey ho lets get used to it as soon as possible.
There is no other choice.
