I remember reading an article about a competition to get the best fuel mileage. One of the things suggested was that one should move back and forth a bit after using the brakes in order to let the little bit of play in the bearings essentially move the pads off of the rotor. Not sure how well that works.

The pads do not "pull back" when you release the brake pedal, they just stop squeezing.
