... basic *routine* auto maintenance including tune-ups and care not only improve gas mileage but also cuts down on pollution and greatly extends the life of the vehicle while retaining value. This seems to be forgotten in our throw-away society. Gradual acceleration and deceleration only add to mileage gains.
Our '92 Honda has 240k miles and our '96 Toyota has 190k miles ... both still get 30+ mpg on the highway and should be safe and efficient transportation for a few more years.
