Default Gas mileage tips (creative) with the Neon?

So any of you guys (and gals) want to share some good gas-sipping techniques for the 2nd-gen Neons?

Spark plug tricks and tips?

Oil tips (full synthetic is obvious, anything else)?

Intake tips or mods?

Exhaust mods?

Electrical mods?

Fuel or fuel system mods?

Any other good tips please share them here! Even if it's something cheap and ugly that was rigged up on a whim... if it works, please share!

Stop cruising, revving, idling, and racing

I have a real problem with that. I like to cruise, I like to hear my exhaust, and despite how slow my car is, I like to race.

Dont drive over 60mph on the Highway.
Dont make rabbit stops and starts.
Dont buy into those so called "gas saving products" because they dont save you anything including your money.
Dont carry alot of weight in your trunk.
Dont give people rides for free. ***,Gas,or Cash!!!!
Dont let your tank get to "E" before you fill it up. I fill mines up after 1/4 is gone.

You guys are too much! lol

The Neon gets pretty good gas milage, just stay on top of the maintenance and that'll help out as much as anything else... And of course the way you drive the car makes a HUGE difference.
