How To Get Better Gas Mileage, Contributed by @sharingeverybite

If I didn't have to have a vehicle, I wouldn't have one. Period.

I've done the math and I would save about 9k per year (gas, insurance, maintenance, repairs --not including a car payment if you had one). Your mileage may vary (no pun intended).

Lately, I've been staying in that 55-60mph range (sweet spot for my vehicle), taking my foot of the gas completely when going downhill and slowing up considerably before red lights whenever possible. Sometimes it's not always safe to do that, but when you can it definitely helps.

Same here—they are one expensive necessity. And for most people, it's just that: necessary. For work, due to urban sprawl, etc. What car do you drive? I own a Prius C Three and it's kind of a game with myself to get the highest mileage possible. You can see the direct result of every driving decision you make either decreasing or increasing the MPG.

It's just a regular car. Not a hybrid.
