• Use public transportation when possible
• Walk/bike when you can
• Carpool
• Drive the speed limit as reducing your speed can save up to 14% on gas [abcnews.go.com]
• Fill up in the morning/late in the evening when evaporation due to the sun is at a minimum
• Avoid crowded paths to reduce idling time
• Keep your vehicle in good shape e.g. oil filters, tire pressure etc
• Only carry essentials in your car as extra weight can increase gas consumption
• Speed up gradually instead of flooring the gas pedal to conserve your tank

Hope these tips help!
