>> 7. Buy green fuel
That's not true. Biodiesel gives you less miles per gallon than regular gas. Ethanol increases fuel consumption by as much as 25%.

6. Reduce the drag factor.
Consider opening your window in preference to running your air conditioning. The drag from having the window open will waste less fuel than drawing extra power from the motor to cool your air.

I think that's wrong as well. AC, when set to recirculate & cool the air from the inside of the car uses a lot less energy than you'd lose due to drag.
