I will come out ahead if I don't clog injector$ or damage the fuel $ystem, something that costs thou$$$$ands to fix.

Another way to lower running costs is to stock up when fuel is at the lowest cost. Buy a few 55 gallon drums and fill them up while it's still under $3.50 a gallon! Then burn that fuel when gas and diesel are over $4 a gallon again!

Also, don't go across town to save 50 cents on one can of soup.

Lastly, don't waste your time or time will waste you.
Depends on what you're driving. I can drive for 2 hours on the highway for about $2. If I need to go 15 miles out of my way to get something, the break-even point is around 30 cents.

I agree that this is generally good advice though. The best way to save fuel is to drive as little as possible.
