How do I improve my hypermiling?

I live in a relatively rural area with lots of highway miles. Traffic is generally light. My last fill-up told me I got 45.9 MPG. I turn the engine off whenever possible whether it's coasting downhill or coasting to a light that just turned red. Also, I take it easy on the accelerator. I cruise at 50 MPH and accelerate gently.

What else can I do to raise my MPG? The best I ever got was 48.3 MPG last September. The days were hot so my engine would warm up quickly.

Oh, and I exclusively use Chevron 87 octane gas.
