I know that recently i have been getting horrible gas milage. 280ish miles to the tank at best. And with an 11.9 gallon tank that means i am getting 23.6 miles to the gallon. I dont drive a v8 for christ sake. So upon researching i found a few things that promote better gas milage. Not just for me but everyone because with the gas prices only getting higher because of bush still being in office. But post you ideas up ...

Avoid filling gas tank to top. Overfilling results in sloshing over and out of tank. Never fill gas tank past the first "click" of fuel nozzle, if nozzle is automatic.
Buy gasoline during coolest time of day - early morning or late evening is best. During these times gasoline is densest. Keep in mind - gas pumps measure volumes of gasoline, not densities of fuel concentration. You are charged according to "volume of measurement".
Avoid prolonged warming up of engine, even on cold mornings - 30 to 45 seconds is plenty of time.
