Energy-efficient driving techniques are used by drivers who wish to reduce their fuel consumption.
Terms for driving techniques to maximize fuel efficiency include hypermiling.
Simple fuel efficiency techniques can result in a reduction in fuel consumption without resorting to radical fuel-saving techniques that can be unlawful and dangerous, such as tailgating larger vehicles.
