56. Purchasing a Vehicle
When you are purchasing a vehicle here are some things that you should keep in mind if you are thinking about fuel efficiency:
Buy a smaller vehicle that will meet your needs in the city. If you want a larger vehicle, that you won’t be using on a daily basis, you might want to think about leasing one.
Consider putting yourself on the waiting list of the ever popular hybrid car.
The amount of money that you’ll save in fuel costs will pay off in a short amount of time.
Choose fewer of the “power” options that you are offered when you buy your new car. These power options include air conditioning, power windows, and automatic transmission.
Buy a two-wheel drive if you have no real need for a four-wheel drive vehicle.
57. Learn to drive efficiently
If it’s been years since you learned to drive you may want to take a refresher course in driver’s education so that you can drive more efficiently and wisely.

Many driving schools will offer special deals for refresher courses for just this reason….to help you become more efficient in your driving habits.
If you have a young person in your home that is learning to drive this is the perfect time for you to become familiar once again with clean and safe driving habits.
58. Tax deduction
The government will give you a payment if you are willing to become more environmentally friendly and want to conserve gas.
