Here are a few more: No rabbit start at traffic lights. try to preview the traffic light timing speed so you dont have to do a dead stop before the light turn green. dont preheat your car in the driveway at idle. dont drive over the speed limit on highways. If you drive with all your windows opened in a hot day remember that you will not consume more gas if you drive with your ac turned on.When your windows are opened it create a big restriction by the flow of air trying to push inside the car. Dont fill up your trunk with stuff that you dont need to carry and the list continue etc etc.

Here are some more tips for saving gas :
Traveling at fast rates in low gears can consume up to 45% more fuel than is needed so drive according to gears.
Keep windows closed when traveling at highway speeds. Open windows cause air drag, reducing your mileage by 10%.
