    1. Start driving right away after you start the car - there's no need to warm up the engine stationary, you can start it, allow 30 seconds for the engine to suck oil, and then you can drive.
    2. Keep the engine at its maximum torque - if you have a turbocharged vehicle, keep the engine between 2000 and 2500 rpm for the best fuel economy, just don't under rev it. If it's a naturally aspirated gasoline engine, keep it between 2500 and 3500 rpm. If you will under rev the car, you won't get a better fuel economy, the engine needs to run at a optimum rev range, where it has enough power and enough torque.
    3. Don't accelerate aggressively - aggressive accelerations lead to huge instant fuel consumptions. Accelerate normally, don't rush, and you'll get a decent fuel consumption. That's how manufacturers get that low official consumption, they drive normally, not aggressively.
    4. Use engine braking - during engine braking, you will have 0.0L/100km and that's because the wheels are powering the engine. Use it as much as you can. The worst thing you can do in a car is to accelerate brutally and then to brake brutally. Accelerate exactly how much you need, and when you decelerate, use engine braking.
    5. Drive at constant speed - When you drive at constant speeds, you will have the best fuel consumption. You don't need to brake, you need to accelerate, so you won't waste any fuel.
    6. Drive between 60 and 100km/h for the best fuel consumption - fuel consumption increases exponentially after 100km/h and that's because friction forces increase exponentially - aerodynamic forces increase, wheel-ground forces increase, and grip decreases.
    Here's an example for my own car - I have 1.6L naturally aspirated gasoline engine and I have just 102hp. When I drive at 70km/h in 5th gear at 2000 rpm on cruise control, I have a fuel consumption of 5.2L/100km. At 100 km/h, I have 6L/100km. At 120km/h I have 6.7L/100km, at 140km/h, I have 7.5L/100km, at 160km/h I have 8.3L/100km. At 200km/h which is the top speed of my car, I have 14L/100km.
    My point here is that fuel consumption increases exponentially with speed because friction forces increase.
    So, to sum up, if you want a great fuel consumption, drive at constant speed, at the engine's maximum torque, but don't under rev it, don't accelerate aggressively, and always use engine braking.
