How would you stretch miles from a tank of gas?

Greetings,

As riders, exploring new roads and places, is part of the cycling fun. Twisties and sweepers are arguably the most fun...

There have been times when reserve or LOW FUEL has happened and the next gas (Petrol) is more than a few uncomfortable miles away. So, what do you do when you need to get more miles from a tank?

In extreme situaiton I have pushed the bike on the flats, then coasted down hills with the engine off, only starting and riding up the hills.
More common is kill the cruise and slow down to the sweet spot for better MPGs.
