First, congrats on the 49mpg! Better than I've ever gotten, and inspirational for future driving!
Don't use the brake pedal- just drop down a gear and DFCO/engine brake your way in. I've started popping it into fourth when I don't have room to coast. It slows the car a bit and uses no gas.
I also have for the first time with the Civic shut the thing off while coasting to the light, then key starting right before it turns green. Eliminates a lot of idle time. You've got to be really conscious of how much your car idles.
