If anything, the top 2 are by far the most important.
Can't agree more. But in (downtown) city driving this is nearly impossible to maintain at all times. Sometimes (sunday mornings) it is somewhat possible and all I get is 2 mpg better fuel economy. I guess folks reporting 20+ mpg are not really driving in a city, maybe in suburbia without much traffic lights.
