if only you could download a custom tune for the driver ;) life would be so much easier!

seriously though, try to keep the rpms above 1500. might not see a difference in instantaneous fuel mileage, but you'll use more of the HP and less boost on pulls and it'll be better for the life of the engine. shifting into neutral whenever possible will also yield a noticeable gain, more so when loaded. Let gravity take you downhill then roll as far up the next hill as possible before getting back into gear and throttle. keep the boost pressure as low as possible. 5-10 psi or less on flat, 20psi or less on a climb. downshift until you hit a gear that allows that lower boost. there's a lot of trial and error and adjustment involved. And cruise control will never get you anywhere near the best fuel mileage.
