Have a look here :
65+ Vehicle modifications for better fuel economy - EcoModder.com
and
100+ Hypermiling / ecodriving tips & tactics for better mpg - EcoModder.com
The main things :
- pump up your tires
- start driving slower (6mph makes a fair difference)
- look far further ahead and adjust your speed to whatever situation you see developing (you'll recover the lost time from going slower)
- start coasting down to places where you'll have to slow down anyway (you'll have to look even further ahead)
- track your fuel mileage if you don't already
- easy mods are a grill block (the upper grills gets blocked most often) and an air dam.
- ditch all unnecessary stuff lingering in your car (for me that includes the spare and jack
)
- look at what other with the same car have done.
Pick up some of the tips, and when they've become habits, re-read the lists and add more tricks to your driving.
