Yes, I drive a Civic. True. But I'm still trying to squeeze that extra mile out of a tank of gas!

There are two things that have worked really well for me:

1.  Whenever possible, back into parking spaces. This saves gas when you come back out to your car.  Fewer turns while engine is cold means using less gas!
2.  Cruise control. Acceleration in smaller increments uses less gas.

Check out gasbuddy.com.  It's a good place to track the gas prices in your area and find the cheapest gas stations.
SO thankful for the Prius these days!  Couldn't resist, sorry!
Nice!  Here's two more...not idling and planning your trips to take the shortest route possible.
Great info!! I had never heard of gasbuddy.  I will definitely be checking that out! So far, gas prices seem to be holding around $3.89/gallon near me.    
In addition keep your cars air filters clean. Make sure you change your oil. Don't delay changing the spark plugs or tune up in general. Keep the air pressure in your tires proper for driving conditions in your area. Don't over inflate. Make sure your tires are in good condition.
Some good suggestions here!  Thanks all!
Try discovering what the real speed limit is and stick to it....be sure you stay in the right lane so that I can pass you!
Will do Justin!
