Welcome to the forum! Agreeing with the others, driving technique is a great way to improve fuel economy. Gentle acceleration, plenty of following distance when you can (helps avoid constantly hitting brakes), time traffic lights so you avoid stopping as often and slow that vehicle down :-) With a stick, it is easy to kick it out of gear on gentle downhill grades and coast. Lots of great advice on this site if you're willing to try.
