In the case of our N54, more air is from higher boost, so stay off the boost. Which means use less throttle and upshift sooner.
EDIT: one thing that MIGHT help is the Cobb LT (linear throttle) setting. The ST (stock throttle) opens up the throttle more than what you pressed in the gas pedal, so LT might help you moderate the throttle better. It isn't going to give you "more hp with more mpg" per se, because you can't have both together at the same time.
