Brainstorming and Advice:
As a general rule, humidity is good, and heat is bad -- the Weather dictates much of that day's FE result. Some vehicles (rare) like warmer intake temps to dial-down fuel-consumption but most have a sweet spot. Test it out.
Look at oil weights and maybe look into going lighter for those shorter trips.
I can only speak of personal experience and those of what I have learned here:
- It takes time
- Experiment
- Make it Fun
- Look at others' Garage entries for mod ideas
For the long term effort, perhaps setup an SFL meetup. Talking about EcoModding and Driving, in person, works wonders for morale and learning. Ride with a pro driving your own vehicle. Lots of us have met with trusted members and came away with good ideas and camaraderie for the cause.
Last thing -- instant feedback is good, but it's like losing weight. Checking it everyday can be disheartening. Look at longer blocks if frustration weighs on you. Nearly all of us here have been exactly where you are now. It does matter.
Best FE,
