Dispite using so called better petrol, regular servicing, diesel, so called fuel saving tyres, --- it worked out best by changing ones driving style.
Drop your usual speed on the motorways by 10mph.
Avoid sudden braking at the lights and roundabouts.
If possible, change from 2nd to 4th.
All known stuff, but how many of us do it.

ME! Thats been my style of driving for a while now (mainly cos' I'm a tight s*d
). Also using engine braking more often than your brakes (havn't used mine to slow down for a few days, just by watching ahead). Also gentle taps of the acceerator to keep you moving work well, rather than extended foot down lots in traffic.
