1. Pump in the morning (4am to 6am is best). Cold weather = smaller molecules = more fuel.
2. Fill up really slow. Its like pouring beer. Faster pouring=more bubbles=more evaporation.
3. Make sure tyres in optimum condition. Especially the pressure.
4. Reduce unneeded weights. That includes your housemates who have extra weight. But excludes your spare tyre (Unless its Leo's spare tyre which is attached to him and needs to be removed).
5. Depending on the make / model of your car. 2800RPM is Optimum.
6. Keep the windows UP. Don't be kiasu, thinking saving on the AC will save you petrol.
7. Don't max out the AC temperature.
8. Park in shaded areas. Heat causes petrol to evaporate.
9. Don't be 'fast and furious'. That means no bigass spoilers which causes drag, no bigass exhausts which does nothing but cause noise pollution and burn your fuel faster.
10. Lose Weight. (*cough*leo*cough*)
11. Make your passengers pay for your fuel (*cough*freddy*cough*)
sri petaling station, take LRT, get down at Bandar Tasik Selatan, change to KTM, then hit to Midvalley :D

When you are out for a night of party, volunteer to be the designated driver. Make sure that your friends are really drunk and offer to take them home. Stop at each petrol station on your way and pretend to pump petrol and then make your drunk friends pay for it.
I'll bet you can make a couple hundred ringgit on a weekend night.
When your friends complain...
"Dude! Your milage on this Proton sucks!"
Make sure you drop them off at their bosses' house.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
Coz that friend of mine stays NOT THAT far from his boss house, worse is that he stay like 13 floors above his CEO's house....

I think the problem is when it's your boss you went out with, and he's the one who is made to pay for the petrol. Who's house you gonna drop him off at if he complains?
Drop your friend off at his boss house and he has no problem of walking home (or take lift up), then what's the point of dropping him off his boss house? So that's what i meant by tough to pull this off...
Well my another problem is that... if i insist to be driver, by borrowing my friend's car, it would end up my friend paying for HIS OWN petrol, where the petrol will be poured into HIS car la... so....i dont earn anything... so no deal!

Let me explain that in a haiku:
