The list is great and I've already implemented several things, but it seems like one of those things you need to re-read several times over a month. You can only really start two or three new things at a time.

One suggestion that I didn't see regarding air conditioning is selective use of the compressor. Sure, removing it entirely or keeping it off is the best alternative, but my driver's ed teacher in high school taught me to turn the compressor off while taking off from stop lights, going up hills, and avoid using it while idling. He also taught me it's practically free to use it while going downhill and decelerating.
