Default '94 civic with obd2 b18b1 bad gas mileage

Yes it is just like the title says. I have an obd2 b18b1 with intake and exhaust and a b16 tranny in my '94 civic. It has an obd1 p75 ecu and dizzy. I am only getting approx. 17mpg, any body have any ideas on what I can check to get proper gas mileage. I did change my spark plugs.

I know the tranny has something to do with it, but 17 mpg sounds a little steep.
