How to save Fuel?

I've one question. How do y'all calculate your fuel consumption? The only way I know is....
once your fuel tank is somewhat near empty, fill up the tank until full tank. All fuel pumps will have automatic stop when it is almost full. When it automatically stop, do not top up until the amount in RM becomes a round figure. It it auto stops at RM45.17, then just pay that amount. Set your mileage meter (or whatever that meter is called, can't recall the word for it) to zero.
Drive until you reach 100km. Then go and top up the fuel again until it auto stop. It it auto stops at RM19.03, then just take that amount and do not round it up anymore.

Full tank = 41.17
Re-fuel to full tank after 100km = 19.03
So to travel 100km, the price is...
41.17 - 19.03 = 22.14

So we have ...
100km = 22.14
1km = 22.14/100 = RM0.2214/km

Seems logical to me but was wondering if anybody else have other formula

I've seen many many times, on a very hot and dusty day, drivers who open their windows FULL while driving. The air outside is so damn hot and the lorry's smoke all over the place, but those people can still drive with open windows. I've also seen people drive with half the windows down on a heavy down pour.
I wonder what's the benefit of that.

1. Aircon too cold..so open window
2. Aircon spoiled....
3. They r smoking
4. Car no power..so off aircon
5. power window Jammed....cant closed the window
......etc

i have to agree with sky on the 2nd one...hehehe

Switching off your aircon and winding down your window wouldn't necessarily save you fuel. Because if you are cruising, by having your window down, you are increasing drag and that effects fuel consumption.

Mythbusters actually tested this, with 2 identical cars running with the same fuel around a track. One with the window down and one with its air conditioning on. Apparently, when you are going slowly, its better to have your windows down. But, if your are going fast (they said 50 mph which is around 80 km/h), it is better to have your aircon on. That's because aerodynamic drag only comes into play when you are going fast enough.
