Keep your tire pressure checked.

Find places closer for where you do go eg: a park a block away as opposed to the one 3 miles away. Closer movie theater as opposed to the one 20 min. away. Same wil restaurants. Get new favorites that are closer.

Don't go anywhere. (Hard to do but just try getting everyone to stay at home more and put some gas savings into home improvement, yard work, cleaning).

When you do go anywhere go the speed limit as much as you can unless you get some nut pushing your tailgate. I drive the neighorhoods with my dogs (yes an exciting thing) as they love rides, at certain times when no one around we drive 20 mph. We used to whiz by at 35 mph. The difference in gas is amazing and they tell me they get to enjoy the view more at this slower pace.
