List all tools/techniques used to achieve current MPG: Adjusted the nut behind the wheel. (Engine on neutral coasting, do the speed limit, cruise control, driving without brakes, limited drafting {they don't do the speed limit}).

I recently acquired a ScanGuage for my birthday and have been trying the educated right foot version of cruise control. As well as more pulse and glide.
