Terrain dictates. Every platform, road and driver have differences. The conditions you're in and your goals at the moment (how much of a rush are you in?) are even more changeable, so the effectiveness of different techniques changes with them. YMMV, as it were.

What kind of instrumentation do you have? Instant and trip are the bare minimum, but short trip is where you can compare different conditions and techniques. Comparing your morning commute numbers to other morning commute numbers will teach you a lot more about conditions and techniques than just tank to tank and instant mpg numbers.
