I can't think that any of the things you noted would have a significant impact on your gas mileage. As far as the sunroof goes, if there is air flowing from the inside of the car to the outside, then I don't think it will make much difference. If the air is buffeting, however, it may make a very small difference. Keep the revs down when driving in traffic and just drive calmly (its hard sometimes). I don't think I'd start and stop the engine waiting at the drive-through teller (we don't even have those where I live anymore). I would think the gas saved wouldn't offset the additional wear and tear on the engine.
The only thing I can think of that might impact the mileage enough to notice would be driving with the AC on all the time. Sometimes I just turn the ACC off and roll down the windows.
