Change #2 & #5 to "engine-off" coasting. It doesn't matter if you make the light if your motor isn't running . . . . . then when traffic is light, start adding in a little P & G. Get used to bump-starting it back up, and then sit back and enjoy another 7 or 8 mpg on top of what you just pulled! Check out Black Widow's page, you'll see how I added 17 mpg to a car that was already getting 43 mpg
Yep, it's addictive, welcome to the club!
