I'm primarily a highway driver with an automatic, so here's my list (no particular weighted order of importance):

Sufficient Practice from Instrumentation (know your vehicle)
Scan the road ahead for adjustments (similar to situational awareness)
Proper Tune (including underhood mods) and tire inflation -- (includes the engine block heater as an efficient "head start")
Aero: Read the wind and adjust speed accordingly / avoid speeds over 60-65 unless coasting downhill / make aero tweaks if able
Avoid idling
