manual driving techniques

I just got a civic VX w/ 294k miles on it. I hear the car is able to get up to 70mpg, but this is my first car that's a manual transmission.

I will tell you that I have a lead foot but I am trying to drive the car slowly. I'm not an expert at it yet but I am still learning. Last fill up I got 36MPG, that's worst than horrible for this car.

I want to know techniques for driving this car? I don't want to know hypermiling like turning off the car and coasting. I want to know should I change gear at 2k or 3k? I shift into neutral alot but I'm unsure of what gear to shift back into at a certain speed.

Could anybody help me with this?

Thanks.
