How to Conserve Gasoline

In this day and age, gasoline prices are higher than ever before. Here's a few tips on how to make the gasoline in your tank work better for you and give you longer stretches between fill-ups!
Instructions
Step 1
Drive around 55mph, or the speed limit. Excessive speeding will decrease your miles per gallon, increasing fill-ups and gas expense.
Step 2
Try to make all your errands in one trip. If this isn't feasible, try grouping errands by area of town. This will ensure that you don't keep leaving the house to do one thing at a time.
Step 3
Try coasting up to stoplights. If you can continue to coast until the light is green, this will save some gas from stopping and going at each light. It's easier to continue moving than starting from 0mph.
Step 4
Carpool with friends and take turns using cars. This will help to reduce the amount of gas you spend, as well as your friends' gas usage.
