So with the high prices of Gas now a days, I find myself coming to a STOP sign, & in an effort to help (me) my car conserve gas, I look both ways & if no other car is in sight I slow down to about 10mph, & then slowly accelerate and keep on going. Also at a RED traffic light, expecially at night, I will stop, & if no other cars are in sight, I will carefully go past it, instead of letting the car sit there at "idle" for 1-1/2+ minutes, wasting gas.

SO DO YOU FIND YOURSELF DOING SIMILAR THINGS TO HELP IMPROVE YOUR CARS MPG?
