Lbvaughan,
As Jason and Wayne said, do not be put off by some of the tanks posted here.
Although I enjoy seeing some of those "outta sight" numbers, I try to focus on my own techniques and tankfuls to keep from becoming dicouraged.
On big boost to economy in my opinion is the "hot air mod". If you have a 5 speed without this installed, beyond some of the things Wayne mentioned, I would highly suggest it. I'd be happy to talk you through it.
I look forward to hearing more from you. I'm in Madison, WI so if you're around here, I'd be willing to help, too.

Also, don't forget that there are plenty of people out there that would kill to "only" get 51 mpg from their traditional car.
