To be in a delicate situation; to be on the edge of danger or ruin.
An 'eggshell' is the thin, white outer coating of an egg. The shell is very thin and breaks easily. So if you are 'walking on eggshells' you are in a situation where you could break something (or get in trouble or ruin everything) very easily.
Synonym: walking on thin ice

to drive as if there is an egg is under your gas pedal so as to save gas. Staying at a constant speed and not gunning the gas pedal.
