Get good instrumentation if your car doesn't already have it.

Don't crank the engine until you're ready to move.

Let it warm up while moving. Then you're actually getting something out of that gas.

Rain-X is good to use regardless of FE. As a bonus, it takes one thing off your right hand's to-do list while hypermiling.

Only put the roofrack on when you're actually carrying something.

Think ahead to plan your trips more smoothly.

A pull through parking space is great, but an immediately available parking space is better. Screwing around getting to that technically perfect space is a waste.

Keep it maintained. Check the air filter once in a while, and keep up on the tire pressure.
