just a piece of advice, keep your windows closed when traveling at high speeds. Open windows cause additional drag and lower your gas mileage. At high speeds, an open window can use more gas than many air conditioners (especially if they are on a low setting).

Tyre pressure should be checked often. Over-inflated tyres can actually reduce your fuel efficiency, so don't overfill 'em.
