Another way of saving gas is to use GPS car navigation device. Garmin has interesting application (collecting points) for economic drive. I looks interesting and useful to me.

Well, I do NOW everything you said. Moreover, there is a valve on the air intake called the PC valve. It greatly reduces the performance on the engine when is dirty or clogged. Changing it every year (My is about $5) is really easy, and keeps the performance up.
