A firend just turned me on to driving under 2 1/2 MPR's at all times. It makes driving less stressful and puts a few extra dollars back in my wallet whenever I fill up.

Since paying attention to gas mileage I was able to increase it by 3mpg just by laying off the pedal a little. Another great thing to do is keep your car in good working order. Fill your tires, clean the air filter and remove excess weight you may be carrying in the trunk(not your tire, leave that in). Tracking IS always key.

My wife and I bike as much as possible to save on gas. I am a number cruncher but I don’t crunch my gas mileage. My wife and I bike as much as possible to save on gas.

RIght now, I'm recording in both, but I don't do it mobile, I wait 'til I record the expense in my accounting program. Averaging about 42-43 mpg right now.

It would be nice if the portable GPS units had an interface that would allow you to enter gas usage data so that it could track mileage not only overall but on individual trips and trip legs.

My driving habits have definitely come back down to earth and I am happy with the fact that my old Saturn now can get around 35-38mpg on average for every tank I fill up. This is a great piece of advice and I would recommend this to all drivers. i started doing this last year (maybe even before that?) and am pleased with the improvement in gas mileage i’ve been able to accomplish.
