I am trying to do these 3 at once. I have found some resources online and have compiled what I think is a resonable list. Their are some extreme tips out there but these are the guidelines that I follow that I feel are not too prohibitive to my everyday life.

  • Combining trips and delay one errand until I have at least one other to do
  • Watching the price of crude oil online and buying gas accordingly
  • Emptying my car of all non-essentials
  • Coasting more, braking less
  • Skipping the drive thru and going inside (parking)
  • Walking more (which means more than 0)
  • Ordering more things online (it usually cheaper anyway)
  • Using mass transit if time and logistics allow
  • Going to places closer to home
  • Keep tires inflated, oil changed regularly, etc
  • Driving during cooler times to use A/C less
  • Accelerating lightly when possible
  • Neutral when coasting down hills

None of these are terribly difficult to follow just take some concious effort to get in the habit of doing.
