Welcome.

What does your factory MPG gauge show? Most show at least instant & resettable (trip) MPG. Keeping an eye on the gauge for feedback is key, particularly if you drive a regular route - matching/beating your previous "high score" for the route.

Your manual transmission gives you a lot more control over your results.

Any special reason you decided to join up? I'm always curious what brings people here.

Best of luck & keep us posted on how things go!
