Sorry, the cost of allignments and tire rotations will far exceed any gas savings. Get an allignment if tires are wearing on the edges. Tire rotation will equzlize tire wear meaning you'll need to buy 4 at once. I don't see how rotating tires will have any effect on mileage. You do want the best tread on the front on a front wheel drive vehicle.

What kind of tips are these? Save gas by driving less, sharing rides, walking or riding a bike. That’s like losing weight by not eating.

i wonder when 'they', the gas suppliers/buyers, etc, will evergive the public an honest answer about the price of gas. We've been told that the inventoryis down, so prices go up; We've heard that consumption is low, so the price has to increase; we've been told that the consumption is high, so prices go up. Like the fiasco in the banking, and housing business (and its all business) everything is based on the future, or in other words, speculation of a pretty good sized controlling group and John Q. Public has to pay for their explainations and excuses. It makes a person sick in how we're still being manipulated, and on a daily basis.

I "coast" whenever I can. Instead of continuing to accelerate as you go down a hill, let off the gas and you'll be surprised at how far you can go. You may not get there quite as fast, but you'll be saving a lot of gas. You'll also save wear and tear on your brakes because you won't be using them as much. If there are no cars behind me it's fun to see just how far I can go before I have to push on the gas! This simple practice has significantly lowered my gas expenses.

I also read somewhere that when you are planning your errands, drive to the furthest one first, as this allows your engine to warm up to its optimum temperature, and from then on you will be getting your best mileage.

Put your transmission in neutral at stop lights, easier on the engine and saves gas.

Most newer vehichles idle faster than necessary and pulling against the tranny, so kick it in to neutral.

Save gas be out of a job when you buy foreign cars. We cut our nose off to spite our face. (to an earlier comment)

When idling anywhere I shut off the engine. Even in gas line. I have learned to put $20 in when I need gas. Not fill up everytime to make me feel like I have to pay more. When the price goes down a little then I fill.
