Cute idea: Buy her a little notebook/pen, set it up for her to log her fills *Date *Miles *Gallons *Price (somewhere in notebook add in a few tips that you use for her to read(keep it easy to understand))

Cute idea: Start her a garage on here for she can be more involved (You can upload a picture of her car for her and everything )

This isn't just a wife thing though. I know plenty of men that get in and drive, with no care in the world when it comes to saving fuel. For various reasons, they don't want to put in the effort, or maybe they have some other issue that keeps them from focusing on driving for mileage. Like a nervous driver maybe??
