Welcome!
The biggest problem any of us have is adjusting the nut behind the wheel!

Go to the 65, and 100 tips at the top of the page.

Don't be afraid to bump up your tire psi. by at least 5#'s.

Work on SMOOTHNESS so stops are slower, and more gradual. Anticipate stoplights
ahead to avoid full stoppage if possible, and reduce accordian effect.

Live your life at 55mph., and much lower if possible.

Find routes to your destinations where you can cruise in high gear 35-45mph. w/o
having to stop much.

The most effectiveness is also the cheapest: learn to control yourself, and not drive w emotions.

Read, read, read! You'll find it will come natural to you faster than you might think!
