Buying a new car isn't going to improve the situation. An electric bicycle - that's the ticket.

Haha… you live in the bay area. Here mass transit is a joke. There are busses that go a couple places and take off every 30 minutes. Part of my job involves carrying a guitar and amp around. That’s 60lbs of gear. No way in hell I’m going to walk around with that stuff in 110 heat. Walking is usually not an option for me. Riding my motorcycle is an option, and I do it a couple days a week.

Biggest piece of advice: get instrumentation. ScanGauge is obviously not an option, but an MPGuino is. Way cheaper than a new car, too!
Not impossible, but depends on the details. One person's "city" environment is not everyone else's.

I guess by I’m not really P&G’ing just Gliding when I can. If I observe a red light in front of me then I’ll glide. I don’t turn the engine off ever.
MPGuino looks interesting… I didn’t know there was such a thing that could work on older cars like mine that are not all computerized.
Any suggestions on where to buy one? I googled it and they seem like there only $39!
