changing how I drive saved me way more than I thought

Last few months I've been trying to ease up on the gas pedal, coasting more, and avoiding sudden braking. Honestly didn't expect much but my fuel expenses dropped noticeably. Anyone else tried tweaking their driving style and seen similar results?

I've noticed something similar. After a minor fender-bender last year, I started leaving more space between cars and braking earlier. Didn't do it for fuel savings initially, but surprisingly, my mileage improved a bit too... unexpected bonus, I suppose.

Funny how that works, right? Most people don't realize how much fuel they're burning with those sudden stops and quick accelerations. Smooth driving isn't just saferβ€”it's easier on your wallet too. Wish I'd figured that out sooner... could've saved myself a few bucks!

Totally relate to this. Took me a while to figure out smoother driving too, especially on road trips. Now I plan ahead more, keep steady speeds, and it's honestly less stressful overall. Curious thoughβ€”do you think cruise control helps save fuel consistently, or does it depend more on terrain and conditions? I've heard mixed opinions on that...
