As waiting for the government to reverse the increase in petrol price/NGV installed at my car, below are a few tips for save petrol and money:-
This is from this great website anyway.

My favorite are:-
1. Stop aggressive driving
It sounds like a no-brainer, but I am still amazed at how many people still drive like they just robbed a bank. Edmunds says, “If you slowed your 0-to-60-kph acceleration time down from your current 10 seconds to a more normal city pace of 15 seconds, you’ll feel the savings immediately.”
2. Drive slowly
This one is a difficult one to get used to. Personally, I find that I am just more comfortable driving at certain speeds. Not to mention the savings from not having to pay speeding tickets.
3. Don’t fill up unless you are on empty, since all this gas weighs a lot and more weight reduces efficiency.
4. Avoid unnecessary idling
Another one they found to be important is not to idle very long. They said that by avoiding excessive idling you can save up to 19% on fuel consumption. They suggest that if you are stopped for longer than a minute to shut down the engine.
5. Shift into high gear as soon as possible. If you have automatic transmission, lift your foot from the accelerator about one second early.
6. Park your car in the shade if you can and crack your windows to allow air to circulate in the car, so you won’t have to keep the AC working as hard when you go somewhere.
7. Pack as little in your car as necessary so it has less weight to carry. Throw away junk/scrap in your car boot.
The rest, please read from the original post by christianpf

Lastly, consider NGV.

thanks for the mention – the agressive driving one has been one that I have really been working on – I used to have a lead foot and am now trying to learn how to drive like my grandma!!
