Gasoline-saving tips

MSNBC is reporting the following:

Practical steps such as keeping tires properly inflated, combining trips, driving at off-peak hours to avoid stop-and-go traffic and following the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual will help ease the pain at the pump.

"When you add these little factors together, it can make a big difference in your gas mileage," says Roy Cox, manager of technical training and research for AAA's National Office in Heathrow, Fla., and author of "Improving Fuel Economy: Money In Your Pocket." "Buy gasoline on price and convenience. The differences in additives between one brand and another are minimal."

All great ideas. But how about getting rid of that gas-guzzling monster?
