Drivers of high-capacity gasoline vehicles can improve fuel efficiency during long trips by adopting specific driving habits and maintenance practices. Key strategies include maintaining a stable speed and avoiding frequent acceleration and braking. 

Drivers are advised to avoid aggressive acceleration, opting instead for gradual increases in speed. Additionally, ensuring proper tire pressure is essential, as underinflated tires increase rolling resistance and require more engine power to move the vehicle.
