Welcome to the forums!

I bought an Ultragauge, and have seen the light! You want a way to improve your MPG? Buy a gauge. I know how intimidating the startup cost is, but it is well worth it. Knowing exactly how well you're doing on MPG at every moment gives you a lot more control over your vehicle, and can answer questions like "what gear should I take this hill in?"

It will also help you learn how light pedal pressure can extend your coasts for twice to three times as long. In my case, that keeps me in the low triple digits.

Anyway I'm beginning to rant, so I'll just say, keep on reading the forums--you'll continue to learn--get a gauge as soon as you can, and above all, have fun with it!
