AUTOMOBILE
26. Have your wheels aligned once every two years or every 30,000 miles. Your tires will last longer and will give you better gas mileage.
27. Set your tire pressure two or three pounds above the manufacturer’s recommendations. This will give you better mileage and better fuel economy.
28. Get your brakes inspected once a year. Sometimes they rub too much, reducing your fuel economy and increasing your expenses.
29. Buy the lowest octane gasoline that doesn’t knock in your car. It costs as much as 10 cents a gallon less than high octane.
30. Shop carefully for auto parts. Prices vary widely from one store to another.
31. Check all fluids in your car at least twice a month to avoid a costly major failure.

Some of these tips are good, some a bit on the common sense side and some need a little tweaking like
Number 5 – you don't have to wash whites in hot, cold for all clothes works.
Number 10, use energy efficient bulbs because they will save you more than fluorescent lights, not only in energy costs but also because they last for years.
Number 14 – go vegetarian, it saves money, animals and your health which saves money on trips to the doctor (not to mention costly cancer treatments and bypass surgeries!)
Number 51 – don't buy bottled water, invest in a filtration system, even the pitcher varieties sold at major chain stores and use a reusable bottle.
Bottled water is a biggie and should be obvious. I'm trying to cut down on meat too. There are a number of ways not to 'buy in' literally….
Your guidelines are great – if just more people would do them!
Laundry can use a lot of energy if not done wisely. The new front-loading horizontal drum washing machines not only use less water, they then spin the clothes SO FAST that they come out almost dry!
Then just put those 'almost dry' clothes on a stylish laundry drying rack like this one (maybe set up under a ceiling fan?) and you will have saved a ton of energy by not using the clothes dryer at all.
