To go a little further, you can separate that into two variables:

1) Fuel burned per mile.
2) Total miles travelled.

So we've thought of a couple of ways to reduce fuel per mile: either increase the efficiency of your current vehicle, or switch to a different vehicle. (Or both, of course.) But there's also reducing the miles travelled. Can you telecommute, or switch to a four-day week? For recreational travel, are there things just as fun to do near home?
