Tune-Up (what kind of car & year??)
- how old are the spark plugs?
- how old are the distributor cap, rotor, plug wires?
- adjust spark timing to spec (if it's adjustable).
- how old is your air filter?
- how old is your tranny fluid?
- - (auto tranny with bad fluid, shifting poorly, etc...)
- correct air pressure in your tires
- suspension alignment

But the most effective thing BY FAR is how well you control your right foot.
