Keeping track of your mileage is paramount.
These days, you can do all those things online
- and more.
Sites like
MPG and Cost Calculator and Tracker - Spritmonitor.de (there are likely others as well) let you keep track of all your car expenses in detail.
Which can be something of an eye-opener

I am also in the process of saving money to purchase a new car. That is what helped me find this place; my quest to purchase a car I love and to make sure I achieve optimal efficiency with it.

The easiest way to get better mileage, is to start by buying a car that will give you far better mileage right off the shelf.
The downside to that, is that your improvements in driving style or to the car will usually be less spectacular and tougher to achieve, and that the savings made by improvements are less in absolute terms.
