P&G is the best way to reduce overall throttle usage. A little WOT and a lot of idling (or just plain shutting off) averages out to a lot better than maxing yourself to 50%.

Cruising at 60 mph in neutral, once the engine settles down to idle I get ~300 mpg (and ∞ with the key off). That brings average mpg up a lot more than simply limiting the amount of gas I allow myself to give it.
