Default not reseting ecu = shitty gas mileage?

hey guys, i have a 96 cx hatch, im currently getting about 25 mpg, pretty shitty, thats me cruising in 5th all the time too, i was wondering, i have never reset my ecu and could that be the cause of the bad gas mileage? i have a new intake, portmatched intake mani and head, ebay intake with k&n, hondata heat shield, and spark plugs, wires and cap are pretty new

never hurts to reset the ecu, but i would change the fuel filter.. and takea look at your spark plugs.. look at what they look like , aka color

sounds like the 02sensors not working properly to me but u say its not throwing a cell. when my 02sensors were broken i was getting gasmilage around there and the power felt the same and there was no smoke coming from the exhaust so u might want to get it checked out.

Has nothing to do with your aftermarket parts, but ****, reset the ECU, it takes what, 30 seconds seconds (20 to pop and shut the hood, leave the backup fuse out for 10 seconds) ??
