    Drive the speed limit.
    Coast into stops.
    Use cruise control on the highway

    should save 15-20% on gas consumption.

    Not fancy but it works.

    I have stopped driving except when necessary, and then I try to go out and do everything that I need to do for the foreseeable future. I am a mile from work, a mile from the grocer and close enough to most of what I need that I can walk or ride in 15 minutes or so.

    Speed should be between 60-80kph. I saw in the news that studies show you will consume less gas if you drive with that speed. And also, do not have a tank full of gas because it makes the car heavier.

    Keep your tires inflated to the proper psi, keep your air filter clean and your car tuned up.

    Walking saves gas as well.
