Project Del Sol 40mpg

I just got my Del Sol back from being tuned and am hoping to break 40mpg. My current record is 35.6mpg, 85% highway at 70mph.
I am a B-series guy, I have a GSR that is at 182whp/133tq.
So is 121whp/101tq, good or ok?
Is a stock d16 around 100whp on a dynojet?

The car is a 1993, Del Sol Si 220,000 miles on it.
Very, very basic mods.
Greddy Header
Test Pipe
Grounding wires
K&N Filter in the Stock air box
p28 with S300

Next week I will be traveling up to Canada I should be able to find out if I can achieve my goal MPG.
I'll post dyno soon.

he said WHP not HP. rated HP is 125 so i think 100 WHP sounds about right from what i've seen/heard
