The "chipped ECU" is likely running extremely rich, as most generic programs do. Proper tuning will allow you to maximize performance and efficiency.

It doesn't necessarily need to be Hondata, but properly tuning the car should improve your mileage.

since you already have a chipped ecu, you can locate a tuner that uses uberdata or crome and have them tune your car. they can tune it for performance but also tune it to be fuel economic.
