You'll definitely stretch out another couple mpg with summer, at least I did. You're doing pretty well given the time of year and if you keep tweaking technique you'll surprise yourself and might even see 40mpg. You folks with automatics amaze me. There's not nearly the opportunity to cheat. Have you tried putting the car in neutral and turning it off at stoplights? Just a thought. I gained 1.5mpg from that trick alone, albeit, with a stick, it's a bit easier to get going again.
