Be more aggressive in efficient city driving by aiming for your gear optimums and sticking to them. Make sure the tires are aired up. Anticipate potential stops or idles from lights or signs like your life depended on it (because your MPG life will rise and fall with every full stop and gas gorging acceleration from a dead stop).

Neutral coasting to a stop can save a little gas. Engine off at a light will save more gas.
