Here's another tip: Get your car's window tinted. Hotter times of the day when the sun shines brightly a cars interior can benefit a great deal from window tinting. The less direct sunlight that gets into the car,less time cooling off the car. This helps you get better gas mileage on your vehicle. If the car is cooler when you enter it, it takes less air conditioning to cool it off.

Pretty sure OP is just shilling the website in his sig - the '10 tips' looks like it was just ripped off an article on About.com or something.

Don't set there letting your engine idle (and burn gas going nowhere). Start the car up and gently drive away.
