I did try Bob's technique on the way home from work the other day. It seemed to work well and I also noticed what orange4boy noted, you need to go to neutral to hit the low idle. This should help my commute a bit. The first 5 minute segment is always so low, and my trip is always less than 15 minutes, so those first 5 have a huge impact on my mileage.
