What would you pick as your five top, tried and true, tips?
 

Doing a little research for something (secret) that I'm writing. What all would you call the top 5 you would recommend to others?

Thanks!

Here is my list;

1-Slow Down, to at least the speed limit
2-Increase tire pressure to max PSI rating or 50 psi which ever is safer for you
3-Learn to coast, stop speeding to a stop
4-Remove unecessary drag, roof racks, mudflaps, etc ..
5-Avoid Drive thrus

Those five so far have taken me from 27mpg to 41mpg, my log doesn't lie ... LOL

1.) Slow down
2.) Don't idle
3.) Park in the periphery
4.) Look 3 traffic lights ahead
5.) Pump up your tires

1.Slow Down
2.Up the PSI in your tires to at least 45
3.EOC whenever possible
4.Don't idle unecessarily
5.Plan your stops

Slow Down
Increase tire pressures
time red lights to keep momentum up
Unnecessary idling
Weight reduction

You can find these same tips repeated ad nauseum every time a news outlet does a report on fuel economy. It's not much of a secret.

Top five tips for...?:D

Yeah, but I'm not trying to get the same five tips as everyone else, I'm trying to dig up some of the less common sense, just as effective things.

I'm not going to parrot what has been said, but I would put Scanguage first. It taught me what speeds are best and what routes are best. I could go the perfect speed on a poor route and get bad mileage.

Most effective for me would be,
