I am a noob at this thing too. But from what I have seen in the first full day of using it. When you accelerate try to keep vacuum as high as possible, a 1/4" of throttle changes it alot. Basically from what I figured out so far the higher the vacuum you hold the better the mileage. Keeps from you from putting engine under more "load" than needed. More load = more gas. Someone correct me if wrong.

I just seen you hit 51.07 on 22nd, I hit 51.05 on 23rd. Congrats.
Nice hitting that 50 mark!! Let's see who hits 55 now. Just friendly competition.
