It became 2nd nature for me to shift to N in the Prius coming off the highway and coasting. Then back into D just before I needed to regen/brake. I don't think any of that extra stuff mattered much, as I got the rated 50 MPG, and my wife did too.

The aftermarket tires are probably what prevented me from achieving better than EPA rating.
