Since your current gas mileage is only 30 to 33 MPG, your biggest gains will come from improved driving techniques. A Scangauge or Ultragauge is very helpful in doing this.

Set up the SG or UG to show trip mileage. It will start at zero every time you start the engine, and display the gas mileage for that trip. Make mental note of the MPG for regular trips, such as the commute to/from work, and focus on the effect of your driving habits. Learn about timing lights, DWL, DWB, maintaining a cushion, and moving with traffic.
