not going high speeds & accelerating quickly...

Look ahead and anticipate - by being able to lift off and slow in plenty of time you may not have to accelerate away from a dead stop as often. Use the handbrake - don't hold the car on the clutch for those "Grand Prix startz"
Switch off all unnecessary ancillaries - if your ice is taking a proportion of the engine's output just for the "bangin, phat toonz" then turn it down.
Ensure your tyres are correctly inflated and close the windows to reduce drag.

ur never gonna save loads, if your on 45 and driving a lil over average, then tone down to driving slower and less accel your only gonna end up saving about 2 odd £ so its not really worth it unless you REALLY hammer your car..... then slow down
