Back when I had a Prius, I made a conscious effort to avoid using the brake pedal during the highway portion of my commute. It made a small difference to fuel economy, but treating it as a game reduced the frustration with stop&go traffic.

2 sides to hypermiling:

1) Maintain a safe distances so you touch the brake as little as possible

2) Follow so close to the other car that you draft behind them (not recommended!)
