5) Think before you brake - The more aggressively you stop your car, the more gas you use.

6) Replace old spark plugs - This will ensure proper engine ignition in the combustion chamber. 

7) Combine your trips - Engines are most efficient when they are warmed up so instead of taking frequent short trips, combining them is recommended.
