AAA lists the following ways to save gas for when you're between fill-ups:

    •    Avoid idling when possible;
    •    Use cruise control when possible and maintain constant speed;
    •    Avoid carrying more weight (the heavier your car is, the more gas you use);
    •    Don’t brake or accelerate too quickly; and
    •    Keep tires properly filled.
