- EXTRA WEIGHT
- Are you carrying any unnecessary items in your vehicle? Removing "dead weight" can increase your gas mileage by as much as 2% for every 100 pounds you remove.
- OBSERVE SPEED LIMITS
- Drive at the speed limit. You don't get better gas mileage if you speed. Drive the limit, and drive at a consistent speed. You should take care to follow all the posted speed limits so that you do not have to speed up or slow down suddenly.
- GET CASH BACK
- Some credit card providers offer a cash back reward for gas and auto maintenance purchases, as well as other purchases made with the card.
- AVOID EXCESSIVE IDLING
- Avoid warming up your car engine for too long, even when it is cold outside. Your owner's manual will tell you how long you should warm up your car. This action results in gas being wasted.

- I don't get why people are complaining about the price of gas. I can understand why people who are poor can't afford it, but those same people aren't doing anything to conserve. Why don't you start driving 55 on the freeway instead of 75? 20 mph will save about 30% on gas. I haven't done any experiments, but the last week I have been meticulously driving 10 mph under the speed limit, and it has save me at least 2-3 gallons per fill up.

- You americans don't know you've been born! When it comes to gas prices have you seen what we're paying in the UK for it? Almost double what you are! And you wonder why we don't have the number of Huge Gas Guzzlers driving as you do!
As for a Gas Strike, it actually is counterproductiove as everyone just fills up on another day, this makes the Gas Companies very happy as you use more fuel to carry more fuel!
In the UK the big protests have concentrated on blockading the refiniries.

- I question milk prices over gas prices, actually, as my family uses more gallon of milk than we do gallons of gas, and quite frankly we can not afford to pay $5.49 for milk anymore, if it goes over $6 we'll be switching to powdered milk.
You make a good point though, gas prices are gone crazy, though I remember when gas hit .75c a gallon and everyone thought that was insane too. I hope you get lots of sigs on your petition.
