On your DOWNHILL COMMUTE...there are 2 things you can do to get better average mpg
1) Coast in neutral - you'll most likely average 100+ mpg on the downhill section
OR
2) (Depending on the steepness of the hill) Coast in gear - you'll average "infinity" mpg because injectors will shut off due to deceleration fuel cut off. This method will work if the hill is steep enough where the drag of being in gear will allow you to keep a decent speed in traffic.
Just like incremental HP gains, using different driving techniques will give you incremental MPG gains as well
