I drive hybrids and I've found the techniques pulse and glide and driving without brakes really help. Also I try to park facing forward when I can and run errands on the same day to minimize trips. We also use our hybrid with better MPGs more vs. the one with less MPGs.

With my Haima7, driving conscious or unconscious doesn't really do much about my FC.. I am trying the 2000 RPM this full tank, and ayun, parang 8KM/L din ang kalalabasan. Eh before, I am shifting sa 2500RPM mark, parang wala namang pinagkaiba.

travel light (dont make your car a luggage)
when approaching an inclined road (eg flyover, bridge) release the gas pedal right before you reach the crest. youll have enough momentum to go over it & still have enough assistance from gravity to coast along the declivity of the bridge
dont run the car idle more than 3 minutes. if you have to wait for someone for more than 3 minutes, you are better of shutting the engine
use thin oil so you wont have to idle that much after starting your engine from a cold state. but considering the age of your engine, it could be leaking oil already so using thin or less sticky oil could be more costly
plan your jaunts well to minimize shutting of the engine in between trips. starting the engine gulps 3 minutes worth of gas running in idle mode
always make it a point to park under the shade

Very sensible suggestions sir! I practice 2 and 5, then 3 and 4 to a certain degree. I'm very conscious with my fc and my almost 6 year old d4d innova at around 41K km odo still have the original aspec yokohama tires. Starting at about 35K km, i have noticed a 0.5kpl decrease in my fc. I think it's not due to those d4d issues (i'm hoping) since I haven't experienced any smoking, stalling or power loss. Would the tire issue cause this significant fc change or is there any other item I should look at?
