Drive Sensibly: Speeding, rapid acceleration, and braking waste gas. On the highway it can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent and up-to 5 percent on the town roads. If one were to translate it into the money equivalent of gas savings it would come close to $0.15-$0.96/gallon.
 
Observe the Speed Limit: These days many vehicles are equipped with fuel economy displays. They give you a chance to see whether the speed you are comfortably cruising with is the optimal speed for your vehicle, money-wise of course. Usually mileage rapidly decreases at speeds above 60 mph. To give you monetary reflection on the subject we will tell you that crossing the above-mentioned limit may put an additional $0.20-$0.67 on top what you pay per gallon of gas.
 
Take a note of the less, but still, important rules that will save you some money, as well. Excessive idling gives you 0 miles per gallon. Try to avoid it. Cruise control will keep you within the efficient speed limit. Use it on the highways.
 
 
I have a 2006 Town and Country Minivan
 
EPA estimates are 19 mpg (City),  26 mpg (Highway)
Can you beat the EPA estimates?
 
I get   CITY:   22 - 24 mpg 
      HIGHWAY:   29 - 35 mpg
 
How do I do it?
 
1.  I use  "Marvel's Mystery Oil" in both the oil and add 2-4 ounces in each tank of gasoline.
 
2.  I drive just under the speed limit on most streets.
 
3.  I work hard to keep from stopping at traffic lights. Moving slowly is better than stopping.
 
4. I have timed many of the traffic signals I see often. 
 
5.  If I have to stop at a light; I put the car in neutral and turn off the engine.  If you will be stopping for more than 5 seconds, turn off the engine. It takes less fuel to start the engine than it does to let it idle.
