The hardest part about trying to improve the fuel economy I think must be to stay disciplined and follow every tip to point.
With practice the tips become second nature and fit into the flow of your driving.
Pulse and glide is work, I rarely pulse n glide, sometimes here and there, basically hate it rarely do it.
Low RPM driving & Glide on the other hand i do constantly, I coast 7 km's out of a 20 km run to the grocery store, for instance. Doing that as well as looking ahead for chances to coast rather then brake.
Find the tips you want to try, and exploit them.
