AC>The surest way to save big on energy for an auto [regardless of what kind 
of
AC>motor it has] is to do these Un American [and Un Australian] things-
AC>Drive at lower speeds. Cut the engine during major delays. Use smaller
AC>vehicles. Omit the spare wheel. Eliminate heater/ air conditioner and 
ress
AC>appropriately. At holdups, get your foot off the brake pedal and latch the
AC>handbrake. Keep engine in good tune, don't allow fast idle.  Pump tyres up 
t
AC>maximum recommended by tyre maker not auto maker. Get that junk out of the
AC>trunk that rides around all the time "in case I need it". Drive 
thoughtfully
AC>anticipating what acceleration/ braking may be needed. Preferably don't
AC>brake!
AC>The brake pedal has a great thirst for fuel.
   ...and the above (or most of it) is *exactly* what I had to do with
my electric car if I wanted to get any usable range out of it...
