The stickies in each forum will give you the best general overview, but the biggest and easiest changes will probably be:
1.) Drive between 45 and 55mph as often as possible.
Your torque converter usually locks up around 45mph, eliminating a significant amount of friction due to slipping. 55mph is generally the best compromise for speed, drag, and safety on the freeway.
2.) Use you brakes as rarely as possible.
Your brakes literally turn gas into heat, wasting energy that could be used to propel you forward.
3.) Pump up your tires to their maximum PSI.
Underinflated tires cause a large increase in rolling resistance due to excessive deformation. Radial tires shouldn't have the wear concerns many associate with high inflation pressure.
