1)Avoid reving your engine above 3500 rpm.
2)Avoid sudden acceleration.
3)Avoid sudden braking.
4)Avoid using the air con.
5)Pump petrol @ JB & tilt your car sideways when you pump.Imagine the theory of pouring beer into the mug.
6)Install some accessories to improve your throttle response so that you need to step less on the throttle to achieve desired speed. Voltage stabilizers, grounding cables & aftermarket drop in filters help.Fuel magnets do not help.
7)Inflate your tyres slightly above the your average pressure.I pump 220kpa. Used to pump 200kpa.

Avoid overloading your car with unecessary weight.(this is the most important)
9)Watch out for poor quality sport rims.Heavy sport rims adds extra load to your engine.
10)Plan your route to avoid jams.Moving off a stationary vehicle saps the most fuel.
Hope these tips helps.
