Popular Mechanics says, among other things, to drive like you're riding a bike to increase fuel economy. You're looking for #4 in the link.
I started doing this when I started riding. I realized I knew about everything about being efficient on a wheeled vehicle because my bike had taught me the hard way! So why not put it to practical use when I'm driving? It's easier on my car/body/bike, uses less fuel/food, and is less stressful/fun.
