Fact is that the fastest easiest thing anyone can do to save some gas and money is to : Run down the check list.

1 check tire pressure

2 Change your motor oil * and filters if needed including fuel filter.

3 Tune engine

4 Keep your foot out of the throttle, avoid “jack rabbit” starts and try not to constantly speed up and slow down.

* most “additives” for fuel** and oil are a waste of time and money , but changing to a synthetic oil can improve your MPG as much as 1% and will save money over time because you don't have to change it as often. ** some cars do need fuel injector cleaner from time to time but using it all the time is not a “magic trick” and will not do anything if used all the time...if your MPG drops if you don't put injector cleaner in your car every week you already need repairs to your injector system and are wasting gas until you actually do the needed maintenance...(just have the system cleaned by a mechanic and get it over with)

This list of simple tip/tricks will work on any car or truck and will work for any type of driver. Add to it if you think of anything car guys ! But I am trying to make it a list that anyone can use.
