According to the AAA, aggressive driving – going faster than the speed limit, rapid acceleration and abrupt braking – takes 33% more gas than conservative driving does. If you let up on your lead foot, you can save $1.16 per gallon at the pump. Also, avoid the fast lane on the highway. Every 5 miles above 60 costs 24 cents per gallon. Finally, fully inflate your tires and get rid of the crap you have in the trunk. It all adds up.
