I've found just getting a driver to let off the gas about 2s earlier to roll up to a red light ends up improving city MPG by approx 10%. It's not crazy that an accomplished driver can beat the published stats by quite a bit. For the record the driving cycle to determine fuel economy are very specific and try to emulate the average driver. If you want to save gas you have to move away from that "average".
