yeah but..

the things mentioned don't cost anything and most are tried and true methods to increase milage.

Slightly overfilling (or at least correctly filling) tires saves treadwear and logically reduces drag.

I recall the gas crisis of several decades ago and they recommended driving as if there were an egg under your foot on the gas petal. Makes a lot of sense to be light footed.

Coasting sounds good but could be a trade off if not done carefully.

I also cut off my engine these days if I am going to be waiting more than just a few minutes. I'm not sure that will continue after the heat and humidity get here.

I can remember an old argument on cutting off the engine. Some say that starting the enging more frequently will use more fuel than idle speed but I tend to doubt it

I don't know about the Shell thing it might be the pumping variance you mentioned.
