This may be one of those “head smacking moments,” where I tell you something obvious that you totally missed, or this could be “duh moments,” where I tell you something obvious that you already knew… but I’ll write it anyway. One of the simplest things you can do to increase your cars fuel efficiency is lighten its load. That means you need to grab all the junk that’s in your trunk and stick it somewhere else. I personally run a pretty lean ship but I have friends that have all manner of textbooks, sporting equipment (it’s winter!), and even furniture like folding chairs; all stuff that has no real business in the trunk.
Unless you need it within the next few days, put it elsewhere. The only exception are emergency supplies and your spare.

I’ve actually been driving around with some patio blocks in the back of my CR-V for that past week or so. I know I should pull them out, but I just haven’t had the time or inclination.
