AAA lists the following ways to save gas for when you're between fill-ups:

• Avoid idling when possible;
• Use cruise control when possible and maintain constant speed;
• Avoid carrying more weight (the heavier your car is, the more gas you use);
• Don’t brake or accelerate too quickly; and
• Keep tires properly filled.
