Turn off engine at red lights
If the engine is off, you’re not using gas. If you can ignore a little horn honking and spiteful hand gestures you’ll get from the cars behind you while you start back up when the light turns green, you’ll spend less on gas.



holy shit if i was behind someone doing this i would be very tempted to ram their car repeatedly

yup and this would literally kill people, because when youre doing 75mph and you come up on someone doing 45, its like they are stopped

Never drive above 45 mph
Yes, this includes highways. And yes, you’ll make a lot of enemies. But if you can pull off driving no faster than 45 mph, you’ll use a lot less fuel.

That's stupid. Most cars are geared to have lowest RPM at about 55mph.
Thus... 55 is when you move the fastest at the lowest fuel consumption.

wind resistance becomes a factor after 40.
