Biggest killers you can change:
-Rapid acceleration, braking = just keep pace with traffic as hard as it sounds, don't drive like your racing everyone around you.

-excesive idle = glide in N when possible, and key down the car when at a long red.

-improper car car (tire pressure, oil levels, weight, etc.)
Wrong, neutral kills more gas then in gear. The injectors are shut off when you're decelerating while in neutral the injectors must maintain flow to keep the motor on.
