It's a shame your car isn't fuel injected. Otherwise you could get some good instrumentation that shows you how much fuel you use per trip, so you know whether you're doing well. In city driving, changing your driving style will save you more fuel than anything else. Avoid pressing the center pedal, and install an engine kill switch.

There doesn't seem to be much interest in weight reduction on this forum (because it's not very helpful for steady-state cruising), but if you do a lot of stop and go driving, weight reduction will help.

Have fun, and drive safely.
