New to eco driving

Hi my name is Kevin, I am new to this whole eco driving thing, I never really cared about my mileage before as I always drove cars that got 30ish with no real effort. Well my daily driver Civic has pretty much become a drag racing car, so I bought an Accord wagon as my new daily, it is my first automatic car, although I wish it wasnt, and much to my chagrin it gets poor mpg's like 23 on a good day. I tried basic things like a tune up, more air in my tires and generally driving less agressively, and it didnt help much, so I was doing some research and landed here. I hope to learn some tricks and tips and improve my mpg's at least somewhat, not looking to go to wild, but 27 or so would be great. I did some initial testing yesterday, and managed to get it up to almost 25 over 60 miles, so I am already doing better, just neutral coasting as much as possible mainly. So anyways hello, and nice to meet you all.
