Only making right turns isn't just a good idea for race car drivers anymore. It can also come in handy for fuel-efficient drivers. If FedEx does it and the MythBusters proved it works, then only making right turns during your commute might make sense. When city driving, try to make as many right turns as possible, even if it means going a little out of your way to reach your destination. Reducing loiter time, or idling while waiting for traffic to clear, can save gas and reduce the amount of times you visit the pump.
Try it out and let us know if you see any positive results. If your car needs a little maintenance, don't forget to check out...

debris sticking out of the tire. If you don't find anything, fill a squirt bottle with a vegetable base soap
and water solution or tire manufacturer approved leak detector liquid. Then inflate the tire and spray the entire tire with your bottle full of cleaner.
