How to save fuel while driving a car?

Getting more miles out of your fuel tank is possible by just getting into a few simple habits and making minor adjustments which over time will have a big impact both in your car and your wallet. For example, by keeping your tires inflated to the proper level recommended by the manufacturer, you are going to decrease the friction between the rubber and the road and hence save more fuel. If this is not enough, then get rid of unnecessary roof racks or any other heavy objects from the trunk that only create drag and consumes lots of gas on the way. In fact, some more ways that one can conserve fuel are things like combining errands in a single trip and choosing the most efficient route possible which means probably not driving at peak times and avoiding stop-and-go driving. This type of driving results in energy loss when you have to stop at red lights and then speed up to reach the next one. However, it is still possible to use less fuel by gently stepping on the gas pedal and anticipating the stop by coasting to the traffic light, rather than hard braking and then hard acceleration thereafter. Moreover, try to use the cruise control feature while on the highways to keep a constant speed and refrain from accelerating and decelerating frequently. The best way to use a manual gearbox is to shift the gears as early as possible and to stick to a higher gear that still allows you to drive comfortably. Always turn the key and shut the engine down for a minute or more instead of running it, and warm it with a drive instead of utilizing more gas to rev it up while it is still. To keep the engine clean with fuel and oil, it is mandatory to change the oil filter, the air filter, and to examine the plugs at regular intervals. The engine will not only get the right amount of fuel but also burn it more cleanly if it is properly maintained. Also, set your air conditioning to a lower temperature but open the car windows at low speeds, if necessary, and operate the seat heaters and the steering-wheel heater if warmth is desired while not increasing the cabin temperature. In the meanwhile, just driving when it is cooler can help reduce the power needed for the engine and the AC as well.
 
To be honest, I've discovered that even a few minor adjustments to my driving style have significantly reduced my gas consumption. For example, I always make sure my tires are properly inflated because it's so simple. I also removed my roof rack since it was wasting my mileage and I wasn't even using it. In order to avoid just driving back and forth pointlessly, I also make an effort to better plan my travels. And man, it really does make a difference to coast to a stop rather than constantly slamming the brakes. When I can, I even use cruise control. The fact that simply driving more intelligently actually puts more money in my pocket is kind of cool.
 
Recently, I've been making an effort to reduce my gas consumption, and I must say that even little habits can have a big impact. I've been getting more mileage since I started keeping my tires properly inflated and got rid of some random items I had in the trunk. I also try to coast to lights rather than speeding and slamming the brakes, and I try to avoid rush hour whenever possible. On the highway, cruise control? Game changer. Simple things like using windows at low speeds rather than air conditioning can make a big difference. I never imagined that fuel efficiency would be so important to me, but with current prices, every little trick adds up.
