I am guilty of a couple of those top 10 things to do or not do. I don't keep up to date on my oil changes and checking my tires, and I know that is a big problem when it comes to gas mileage, but it's just the lazy part of me. I also forget about items that are in my trunk and end up lugging useless items that I should trash or store anyway. My Honda's AC unit does not work, so my windows are always open in the summer time, otherwise I would roast. I am not a huge fan of cruise control even though both of my cars are equipped with it. I just feel like a better driver when I am in control of the car, not some mechanism. I also floor the pedal when on the highway, or accelerating through town, especially when in the Honda, because it is a small car and can zip around turns etc. It's the Fast and Furious in me that comes out during those times
