Even if you're a left-lane ecodriver like me, the techniques and mods here save lots of gas. With a few more mods and a little bit more EOC, you can reach 40mpg.

Power brakes: I get one assisted application out of my brake pedal. So if I kill the engine, then don't touch the brake pedal (or don't let it out once I depress it), I still have assist.

Power steering: two hands on the wheel works for me. It took a few weeks, but I'm comfortable with EOC unless traffic is heavy.
