I have adopted an early shift habit and keep the engine load close to 85% under acceleration. I'm not sure this makes a huge difference, but overall I am getting 2mpgs better than when I first got the car. This is probably mostly due to learning the glide points on hills and memorizing traffic and light patterns though.
