This suggestion has been promoted to the "Lowrider" challenge!

Go a week without speeding in your car. Only go the maximum posted speed limit. You'll save on gas. That means not going the standard 5 - 10mph faster than the speed limit.

There is some truth to this but the mpg of cars is actually a hyperbola graph. (For those who are currently taking math classes) but for those who are not, this means that going the speed limit may actually decrease your mpg. For speed limits below 45, this is decreasing your mpg. I do not know the specifics on why but the best gas milage is between 50 to 60 mph.
