Start slowing down early for known stops. Use less brakes and you will have less wear on them and use less fuel. Try not to stop at all for upcoming stops and stay rolling. You will save a ton of fuel that way. If you Aim High in Steering say 15 seconds ahead of yourself you will be able to roll thru a bunch of green lights instead of stopping for red ones.

Only if you have the cold weather package with the heavy duty starter. You consider how many times you start you engine doing this will take a toll on the brushes and the armature. According to the Smith Driving System just let off the gas alot earlier and coast which is less wear and tear on your brakes and the gas savings will go up. Stop behind vehicle at least 12 - 15ft. Wait till car in front takes off count to one and then take off but don't go faster than the vehicle in front of you. Keep a 4 second interval between you and the car in front of you. This would give you time to stop at any speed plus able to make any decisions you need with time to spare. By using this type of driving your saving in gas will go up. Your wear and tear on your vehicle will go down. Thus your savings.
