Avoid the temptation to "top off" when using the gas pump. When filling up, allow the gas pump to automatically shut off when it's full; you'll hear a clicking sound and the gas nozzle stops pumping gas. Adding more gas can actually be a waste of money because gasoline is often fed back into the tanks via a vapor-recovery system, which prevents gas from escaping. When it's full, stop filling up.

If you love your favorite sports team and want to show your adoration by attaching pennants to your car windshield or antenna, think twice: Cars are designed to be as aerodynamic as possible; by adding a flag, you increase the drag and decrease your car's fuel efficiency. If you want to show your support, think bumper stickers instead.

If you suffer from allergies and plan to rip up the wall-to-wall carpet and replace it with hardwood floors in your bedroom, think again. Dust, allergens and other particles can easily build up on hardwood, which means it'll need constant cleaning. A carpeted room cleaned with a HEPA-filter vacuum can actually keep the room cleaner. It's not what's on the floor that matters, but how you clean the room.
