Bunch of bad ideas in general. Mostly stuff that saves you a few pennies now and costs you more later on.
Many vehicles are designed for a specific tire footprint and inflation rate. Changing that may result in changes to handling and braking. Overinflation wears your tires out in the middle fast while leaving tread unworn on the edges.
Pulse driving wears on a number of driveline components.
Tailgating can get you dead fast. You need to get within 10 feet of the truck in front of you to get a mileage boost. At that speed, you'll need to keep adjusting your speed to avoid crashing into the truck and keeping to within 10 feet. That on-off-on-off the gas can end up costing you mileage.
Eliminating unnecessary trips and driving under 55mph with properly inflated tires, avoiding any leadfooting and observing the traffic ahead of you and modulating speed gently to suit will offer pretty good gas mileage.
I just adopted a great strategy for picking up 7mpg. I started driving our Rav4 as my primary car instead of the Pilot.
