Hello and welcome to the site.

Pulsing and gliding will really boost up the mileage. We recommend you try new techniques in very light traffic or even in an abandoned parking lot to get used to it if you're not comfortable. You can start out with just popping it in neutral down hills to get used to it. Once you are used to it try doing it more. The more you do it, the less gas you use.

Good luck.
