My biggest achievements for driving last year was slowing down and coasting to stop lights. I live in a reasonably sized town (170,000+) so if it's busy I don't go to slow as to impede traffic, but on my morning commute I can get really good mileage by taking it out of gear while going down a few hills, and coasting to stoplights to let them turn green in front of me.

Next week I would like to start using my scangauge to track my trips to and from work to see how changing certain aspects of my trip change my consumption.
