• Know your average mpg
  
• Read vehicle handbook
• Use tachometer green zone
  
• Skip-shift (block-shift) gears where it is safe to do so
  
• Systematic pre-driving and daily checks
  
• Prompt defect reporting
  
• Always be ready to learn, no mater how experienced you are
  
• Take care filling fuel tanks, not to brim
  
• Never leave a fuel nozzle unattended
  
• Park up to avoid early-morning maneuvering with cold engine - this wastes fuel
  
• Pull away in the right gear
  
• Follow vehicle manufacturer recommendations
  
• Use cruise control
  
• Use the engines "sweet spot" (the speed at which fuel economy is at its best)
