ECU Reset for better MPG?

I got my Z 3 weeks ago (LOVE IT!) and this is my first manual transmission.

I knew 'how' to drive stick but wasn't that good at it. I noticed my first tank of gas, I got like 17mpg. I know that during breakin you get lower MPG - which seems wierd b/c most of the time, I'm at lower RPM.

Do you think it's possible my ECU learned my "Crappy" driving - aka shifting improperly, slipping clutch, not driving very well during the first 2 weeks?

Do you think an ECU could help my gas mileage if it "learned" my new driving skillzzz

no i dont believe it works like that. i reset it for my CAI but i think it was probably needless.

but if it makes you feel better go for it just disconnect the battery or use the foot pedal method (do a search )
