Increasing MPG every fill-up

I've filled my tank 6 times since I got my car in May, and each time I'm seeing progressively better mpg: 26, 26.5, 27.2, 28.1, 29.3 and 29.9 today. This is me calculating the mileage at the pump, of course the computer is telling me I'm getting several mpg more than this.

I'm sure my mileage is gonna peak soon. Still, I'm quite happy with where I've wound up, especially as my old Element would only get 19-21 mpg.

I've been running about 33.5 in my MCS 6 speed, so you might have a few more tanks to go first. Sure beats the mileage of the HumVee I saw today--with brand new paper plates!
