Fastest significant results will come from driving technique above all else. (I assume you've seen the 100+ tips - see the navigation, top of every page).

The downside about a carbureted engine is ... fuel consumption instrumentation is far more difficult. (No ScanGauge, no MPGuino, no SuperMID.)

If I were in your shoes, I would attempt to calibrate your fuel tank sender to the highest resolution possible so you can at least track fuel use between fill-ups.
