Starting your car with electronic devices, like the radio and air conditioning, turned off, will put less strain on your engine which translates to better gas mileage.

31. Go the speed limit
When you drive, go the speed limit. It's calculated for maximum safety, but will reward you with maximum mileage. Count on getting more than 20 percent more mileage traveling at 55 than you would at 70 mph.


Name a highway in western Washington where I can drive 70mph. They're stop and go because of the heavy traffic, lack of mass transit, and non-stop road construction.
