Pulse and glide. A driving technique wherein you maintain an average speed - say 65 mph - by "pulsing" to 70 mph and then "gliding" (with the transmission in neutral) to 60 mph. Repeat.
There are variations on this theme. When gliding, the engine can be left to idle. The alternataive is to glide with the engine shut off, called "Engine Off Coasting" or "EOC."
I also have a 1999 Camry, mine has an automatic transmission. It is not possible to EOC because it will damage the transmission.
You should try P&G, I have a mixed commute from home to work, about 50% highway and 50% city, I'm getting about 33 mpg.
I noted your gaslog, if you have 90% highway commute, you could get much better mileage. On my last highway trip in the Camry, I achieved about 45 mpg using P&G driving.
