Your motor has VTEC-e. The "e" stands for economy.
Your VTEC will engage at a much lower rpm than other VTEC motors. During low rpm, each cylinder, only one of your two intake valves will open. When this happens the air that is being pulled into your cylinder will create a swirl in your cylinder; this is what gives you the better fuel economy.
