That's very cool that an EM sticker brought you here. The lower temps are hurting you a bit right now, but you can definitely make some good initial improvements.

Start out with a more anticipatory look at traffic. Be as alert as you can to impending traffic situations, such as red lights, slow trucks, turning cars and little jams. Once you've given yourself more information about traffic, you can change your reactions by liming unnecessary acceleration.

Maybe you'll start a fuel log. Tracking mileage tank-to-tank is a good way to chart your progress - especially since you're just starting to become more aware of fuel economy.
