This car has very aggressive deceleration fuel-cut settings. I've seen it cut fuel coasting down to 1100 RPM. Hills can be your friend. Always coast in gear.

The block heater is useful year round with a timer. If you have a fairly regular schedule, the PZEV startup can be minimized or even avoided. The shorter your commute is, the more this will improve your MPG numbers.
That makes me wonder what sensor can be tricked....
