Switched to a hybrid and my costs dropped 40%. Also: coast to red lights, maintain steady speeds, keep tires inflated, and track your MPG weekly. Gas is our biggest expense - optimize it!

Costco gas membership pays for itself if you drive full-time. Also, don't idle with AC blasting between rides - it adds up fast. Track your MPG religiously and you'll see patterns.

Tire pressure is huge! I was running low and didn't realize it was costing me 2-3 MPG. Check weekly. Also, cruise control on highways saves more than you'd think.
