Are there any public transportation(train, bus) that stops at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, CT?

I agree with what everyone has said so far. Definitely do not drive fast. Here in the US, cars run most efficiently at 55 miles per hour. I am not sure for what speed your car is tuned for. You might want to ask around for that. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. An under inflated tire decreases gas mileage. I actually over inflate my tires a little bit. There is less tire on the road and therefore less friction, therefore better mileage. Make sure you do not have a lot of stuff in your car trunk. If your trunk has a lot of unnecessary items in it, take it out. The heavier you weigh the car down, the less fuel efficient it is.

There several things, first replace all your filters. Fuel, Air, Breather, etc.. Get your fuel system flushed. Make sure you're up to date on your maintenance. Such as tune-up, transmission. Next use you Cruise control if you have one. 55 is no lie. It is the best speed for conservation. Don't rush to a stop sign.....coast (it'll also save on your pads). Accelerate nice and easy. If you do these things you will definitely see a difference.
