Key-off at any stop that will last longer than 10 seconds or so (poor man's stop/start technology). I have been doing if for years and am still running a 1998 starter motor.

Also, do you use deceleration fuel cut off mode for braking?

[EDIT: AND BUY ONE OF THESE:

IT WILL PAY FOR ITSELF QUICK LIKE

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
