don't speed, accelerate from stops slowly, take your foot off the gas when you see you will stop ahead and coast to the point where you will have to brake, keep your speed constant when you can (on the highway, for example), keep your tires properly inflated, plan your trips so that you do several errands on one trip, rather than a separate trip for each errand.

It depends on a few critrea : age of the car, service history, terrain of use, etc. Modern cars can go for 100,000 km without engine overhaul if it has been serviced regularly. If it is used on a hilly terrain then you would be always on 1st and 2nd gear most of the time, so your gas usage will be high. If you are a city driver your gas usage will also be high because of stop / go traffic. Added to this, if you drive a manual version, if the clutch pads are worn out, this could also cause high usage. Automatic transmission cars generally consume slightly more gas than manuals. How you drive also matters; high speed for short distances and braking hard are another way to burn more gas. The attitude of the driver plays a major part in gas usage.
