5. Use a fuel injector cleaner and seafoam if available.
6. Drive with the windows closed (obvious one here) and keep the a/c off.
7. Get new tires if your treads are 30% or less.
8. Drive solo if possible or tell your heavy friends to drive themselves.
9. Go on a diet.
10. Ride in someone else's car

Waiting for the flames on #5

gas is still cheap though, have you seen what Europe has to pay for gas for the last 8 years or so?
$3.75 a gallon is cheap

Two things that will help more than you think

1. Plan your route. Don't run back and forth across town more than once - think like a schoolbus driver does.

2. Keep the average speed function of the OBC displayed. Obviously stop&go traffic will decrease the mph so by coasting more and using the brakes less your average will stay higher.

Don't buy a SUV when you don't need one. If you spend the majority of your time driving by yourself or with your wife/spouse/other..you didn't need a 4000lb+ SUV to start with.

Get a manual transmission instead of an auto if possible.

Maintain speed.

Oh if only public transportation was REALLY available.
