Get off the freeway! Find a secondary route that lets you slow the heck down. Relax, enjoy the drive and the extra $ in your pocket.

Oh - and add your car to the garage and start tracking fuel consumption closely. If you don't measure it, you can't manage it. |

I have slowed down to running between 60-65 mph on the interstate and so far, I can tell a little bit of a change in the mileage. I'm just under half a tank and so far I have gone over 150 miles on this tank.
I do have a question though. When I fill up, I usually go to Kroger and recently I have been putting the Kroger Additech in with my fuel. I haven't really noticed a change since I started putting it in. Am I just spending needless money?

You're a student. The search function will answer your questions and then some.

This IS my good behavior! 
I mean, come on. Supposedly we have a student and a family with mechanics in it, and he's doing WHAT? and he's asking WHAT? |

I do get Franks point, but he is also new to the site, you never know if they have ever been on a forum before or not, or are even aware of the search feature. Either way the OP knows there is a seach feature  .
To answer the question, most fuel aditives do so little it isn't measureable. Only thing I can think of that does not apply are fuel injector cleaners. Fuel Stabilizers might work as well but that isn't for MPG. |

Yes it is better to ask the questions than not... but the advice is still good.

Once a month, I put in some Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner. I always notice a little bit of a difference when I do that.
