Slowing down accounted for about 80% of my mpg gains. Coasting more accounts for most of the rest. I'm completely unimpressed with people who say they want to improve their mpg, but won't slow down. Anyone can beat EPA figures just by setting cruise control to 65 mpg or the posted speed limit, whichever is lower. Those of us who beat the EPA by 50% or more are guaranteed to be driving below the PSL.
