Lose some weight
Possessing weight in your vehicle wastes fuel. You do not need, ditch it, if there is heavy stuff on your boot. Losing 100 pounds (45 kg) will improve economy by around 2%. Actually the push is playing a leading role in improving fuel economy in brand new cars.
Drive Like You're on a Motorcycle
OK, don't always go 20 mpg on the market, but try to envision biking over the same route that you are driving on: When you are led uphill, it requires a lot more effort to keep pace than it goes down, therefore give the car a rest and let yourself shed a couple of mph on the way up. Relax, you get it back. Your automobile burns the most gas when it's forced into high-load scenarios, so try to remember what makes biking hard (like moving really fast, accelerating really tough and speeding up mountains), and make those scenarios as painless as possible by putting off the gas.
Roll with it
Working with gravity, rather than against it, is something hyper-milers advocate on hills. By trading some kinetic energy of being higher to the energy economy will be maximized by letting your car go marginally slower up a hill coasting down the other side in gear. This strategy should only be employed when it's safe to do so.
Don't be idle
Modern cars do not really need time to warm up, it pushes gas. If you are waiting for more than 30 seconds, for stationary in traffic, or somebody you are turning off the engine, assuming it is safe to do so.
