Fuel prices are fluctuating, but there is no doubt that the days of crude oil are on the decline, which means higher prices over time. So how can we conserve gas and make the most of our fuel dollars? According to How To Advice.com, here are 30 ways to start.

1. Avoid prolonged warming up of engine, even on cold mornings - 30 to 45 seconds is plenty of time.

2. Don't start and stop engine needlessly. Idling your engine for one minute consumes the gas amount equivalent to when you start the engine.

3. Eliminate jackrabbit starts. Accelerate slowly when starting from dead stop. Don't push pedal down more than 1/4 of the total foot travel. This allows carburetor to function at peak efficiency.

4. Choose type and brand of gasoline carefully. Certain brands provide you with greater economy because of better quality. Use the brands which "seem" most beneficial.

5. Exceeding 40 mph forces your auto to overcome tremendous wind resistance.

6. Traveling at fast rates in low gears can consume up to 45% more fuel than is needed.

7. Keep windows closed when traveling at highway speeds. Open windows cause air drag, reducing your mileage by 10%.

8.Think ahead when approaching hills. If you accelerate, do it before you reach the hill, not while you're on it.

9. Avoid rough roads whenever possible, because dirt or gravel rob you of up to 30% of your gas mileage.

10. Stoplights are usually timed for your motoring advantage. By traveling steadily at the legal speed limit you boost your chances of having the "green light" all the way.
