You wont find a newer SOHC 8 valve engine, the D15B8 was the last one, D167Y is probably the next closest thing if you wanted something newer, D16Y8 is more of a power oriented replacement, still not ridiculous, and either paired with your existing transmission should yeild similar results mileage wise, wont be quite as good, but should still be within 7mpg of what you were getting.
