We have recently downsized our family car from a minivan to a compact car, with a roof mount box for a few times a year we need cargo capacity. Saving 40% + in gas. Of course we take the box and roofrack off when not being used to maximize fuel economy.

I have purchased a ScanGuage trip computer for my car which shows me instantaneous fuel consumption so I can adjust my driving habits for better fuel economy. It has improved my fuel economy by 10%.

I am installing a tankless hot water heater in my house to save natural gas consumption from stand-by losses. There is approx $800 in incentives available right now.
