EXACTLY!

When I'm running late for work I can still drive 65-70 mph (as opposed to my normal 50-55 mph) and not kill my FE because of all of the other techniques.

The number one technique has to be driving with a feather-foot though. Just by letting up on the accelerator a tad saves loads of gas, and accelerating more slowly does as well I have found. (but I'm just repeating what we all know anyway... preaching to the choir I suppose haha)

Once again, I think we all deserve a round of applause for utterly destroying the EPA estimates!
