3.	Replace a dirty air filter and improve MPG by as much as 10%

4.	Check spark plugs ? a misfiring plug can cut fuel efficiency by up to 30%

5.	Run engine diagnostics ? fixing a faulty oxygen sensor alone can improve MPG by up to 40%

6.	Drive sensibly; avoiding jackrabbit starts and stops can increase fuel economy by as much as 5%

7.	Observe speed limits ? fuel economy drops 2% for every mile per hour that you drive over 55

8.	Remove excess weight, and improve fuel economy by 2% for every extra 100 pounds you remove
