My fuel log is looking good. Thanks a ton to all the tips and ideas here on ecomodder, it really works!

Here are the things I did that I think made the most improvements to my mileage -

Coasted in neutral whenever possible
Inflated tires to max pressure (35 psi on my 12's) (previous tank was at 27 psi most of the time)
Rarely drove over 60, never over 65
Turned engine off at red lights and EOC in my neighborhood only, about 0.2 miles per day.
Shift to higher gears as soon as possible, kept RPMs low.
Used an iPhone app called GoDriveGreen to tell me how my MPG and "green score" is on each commute. haven't installed the MPGuino yet.
No mods to my car yet.

I really want to hit the 50 mark next - what should I do?
