Re: Best way to increase mileage
Here are some more:
1) Keep your car properly tuned up including clean air filter. 2) Keep your tires properly inflated. 3) On the subject of tires, make sure they are properly balanced. An "off balanced" tire can cause problems as it doesn't properly make contact with the road and causes undue stress on the vehicle causing economy to suffer. 4) Remove any unneeded or excess weight from vehicle. 5) Use proper grade of fuel designed for engine. 6) Combine trips. 7) Keep from excessive speeds, prepare to brake and do not brake "at the last minute" when approaching light or stop sign, anticipate it. 8) When taking off from a stop, gradually increase speed, do not "floor it".

Re: Best way to increase mileage
To add to the previous list: 9) Use synthetic lubes where you can. The improvement will be slight but you will enjoy other benefits as well.

Re: Best way to increase mileage
Your owners manual has what the proper grade of fuel your vehicle takes. Most vehicles on the road can safely use 87 octane gas in the US. A small percentage of vehicles require a higher grade of fuel (89 or higher,) and that info is listed in your owners manual as well.
