Don't drive my 4 Runner over 60 mph. Cruise control all the way. I started coasting to stop signs. I've seen a huge difference in consumption. I used to get around 230 miles before the gas light. The other day I got 280 miles.

My friend and I alternate driving when we fish.

Won't be doing any Montauk trips, which is good anyway because it makes me fish my home waters more.

Started making my own plugs in the winter, which saves a ton.

Sold almost all of my beachmasters (except a few).

Drive my wife's pontiac sunfire more often when we go out.

Put the A/C on energy save mode.

That's about it. I think it is going to get far worse in the years to come. Wait till oil production starts to decrease, which some say will begin in the next 15 to 20 years. We will be seeing gas at over 10 dollars a gallon, not to mention more global conflict over oil resources.
