I previously wrote about how I was saving money on gasoline just by driving the speed limit but for this post I wanted to share many more tips on how to make your own car more green and eco-friendly without you having to spend a ton of dough on a new hybrid this year. Use cruise control.

It has never been easier to find the lowest gas prices. Maintain appropriate tire pressure levels and keep your car tuned. Finally, use technology.
