Better mileage in gear

If you can travel distances with the car in gear where you might have coasted, *and* the revs are above about 1500, then you will burn less fuel because the ECU cuts off the injectors when the throttle position is closed and the revs are about 1500 or so (it may be a bit higher, perhaps 1800). You can see this for yourself with a wideband oxygen sensor: after a few seconds with a closed throttle, the sensor reads "free air" oxygen content percentages.
You probably have already taped up the grill, etc., and gone to narrower tires at very high PSI...
