The biggest gains are to be had by adjusting your driving to EOC, for example, accelerate to 45mph, cut engine, coast down to 30mph, bump start and accelerate to 45mph, repeat. Accelerate up hills, coast down hills.

With a Scangauge you get to watch your average mpg jump up while coasting with engine off, it is somewhat addicting, and there does not seem to be any other driving method that will give you as high mpg as EOC.
