Up Your Tires--Truly
One of the areas where producers compromise fuel market is in tire pressure. This rating is largely there to make the ride smooth as silk as you operate over pedestrians and potholes. It can be contentious, but believe it: To get the best mileage up the strain to the maximum listed on the sidewall. You're going to get better gas mileage, but your resistance will be reduced although the ride will find a little harder. But don't only do it and forget about it! Make sure that you check your tire pressure every time you fill up, or you could be leaking air and losing MPGs.
Don't be idle
Modern cars do not really need much time to heat up, it pushes gas. If you're waiting for somebody, or static in visitors you are turning off the engine, assuming it's safe to do so.
Multi-Task With Your Routine
Are you going out to conduct weekly errands, or are you simply dropping off one letter at the post office and coming? You will cut on fuel use and distance traveled in half by making your stops simultaneously, rather than taking tons of short roundtrips.
Don't be a drag
When You get to about 30 miles (48 km/h) a car uses more energy to overcome wind resistance than it does fighting rolling resistance. So you need your vehicle to be as aerodynamic as possible for street driving. Having your sun roof windows or open down can increase drag a bit. Leaving a roof box or bicycle rack on will have a larger effect, but estimates vary widely with this from a 1% to a decrease in fuel economy.
