As a city bike commuter, I notice people dangerously speed up to pass me, only to have me catch up to the next red light before they can move. Also, be careful with "fuel system cleaners" as most people view these as snake oils. I would not recommend them being part of your fill up routine as they are a) expensive b) may not do much and c) typically cause your mixture & burn to change slightly. I do use SeaFoam once a year or try to take the time to semi-professionally steam clean my engine. It’s my opinion that the bigger problem is how people drive.

Also, plan out your errands so that you can do more in one trip. Less trips mean less gas and more savings!
