do you have any cells? do you have the O2 sensor hooked up? are you running the **** out of it all the time (sifting at 8k hard on the gas/off, jackrabit starts) all those things can effect gas milage. I would first look into the O2

Might try filling your left shoe with helium.

Or your tires with more air.

Left shoe full of helium will make the clutch slip. I'd try the right foot instead.

On tire pressure, inflate to maximum rated safe pressure. The higher the pressure, the less the rolling resistance.

May also try the Civic VX rear panel that blocks off the big hole in front of the parachute (rear bumper). Goes in the driver side about the same location as the muffler is on the passenger side.

I'd also verify O2 sensor function and make sure you are running a stock B20 tune if you are concerned with MPG (and you don't have a VTEC head...)
