Have you read over our 100+ hypermiling tips yet? I'd highly suggest it. Your car is capable of incredible city mileage.
For starters, you need to keep off the brakes. Avoid using them as much as possible. Second, for those hills I would be using lots of throttle but stay in a high gear going up the hill and coast down the other side in neutral. At longer stop lights I'd recommend turning the engine off. Other than that, I'd make sure you clean out any unnecessary stuff from your car to reduce weight. In stop and go weight is a real killer.
