"Driving without brakes" is likely to give a considerable boost to your mileage. Whenever you touch the brake pedal, you're converting kinetic energy you've built up by burning costly gasoline to waste heat. Plan ahead so you can mostly coast to stops. Never accelerate when you can see you're about to have to slow down or stop again. If you can coast up to a red light so the light changes before you get to it and you get to keep rolling without stopping, you've really won big!
