The 3rd thing you want to do is use your cruise control in the proper manner. When your car is on cruise control the engines highest efficiency is achieved. You should check your cars owner's manual when using this feature. You should not turn the cruise control on and off as this will mimic standard driving conditions and defeat the purpose.
Moving on, it is a good idea to relieve our cars of any excess weight. As our lives become more and more busy, the cars we drive become like our little home away from home. We are constantly shuffling things in and out over time which leads to a build up of junk that we forget about. Every week you should give your car a thorough cleaning to get rid of excess junk. A good step to take is whatever you put in your car on a daily basis, take it out at the end of the day unless it is something you'll need on a daily basis.

By driving aggressively your causing your engine to work harder which burns up more fuel. You don't have to drive like and elderly person but just be aware of how you drive and act accordingly.
