In other words, all the tips you can possibly learn about how to improve gas mileage are all actually worth the time and effort they take to read and employ.

They're easy too, for the most part.

There are quite a few tips, tricks and tactics you can employ. They don't have to be difficult or involved. Some very basic and simple concepts can dramatically improve gas mileage.

If you only give just a little thought to what you are doing, amazing strides can be made to improve gas mileage.

One tip that comes to mind is parking your car. Were you aware that gasoline can and does evaporate from your tank? Over time this can mean a substantial decrease in the mileage you get from each tank of gas. To improve gas mileage, be aware of this fact and whenever possible, park in the shade.

Parking in the shade will keep your gas tank cooler and help to slow down the evaporation process and improve gas mileage - right now!

No shade available? In that case, watch HOW you park.

Obviously heat is the culprit here, so park in a way that your gas tank is not towards the sun. Parking with your tank away from the sun will help to cut down a little on the evaporation.

Oh, by the way, by gas tank, I mean the actual physical tank that holds the gas, not the valve area where you plug in the nozzle at the gas pump.

This is a simple tactic that with virtually no effort, we can all employ - immediately.

If you have a couple bucks to spare, a new cap on your gas tank can help slow down the evaporation. Get one that locks to help keep your neighbors honest.

So, to improve gas mileage, here are a couple steps to take. Start first by paying attention to where (in the shade) or what direction (gas tank away from the sun) you park.
