Default Integra losing gas quick. HELP!!

I have a 94 integra with a b20 swap and i've been noticing im probably getting 15-25 miles per gallon. I know this is not normal in a teg. My check engine light is on and my muffler makes a popping noise from here to there everytime i accelerate. Could it be that my o2 Sensors are bad or am i running to rich? I pour 93 by the way. Some advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You are definitely running rich, take it to schucks/o'reilleys or something, they check codes for free. But it could be o2 sensor that's bad.

Is the ecu for a b20?
What else have you "swapped" to make this engine work?

Also, why 93? Unless its built/turbo'd, it will run just as good with regular than with premium. Better gas mileage as well....

Figure out what the CEL error code is.

check the code(s). first and foremost. if it's a b20b1/4, that 93 may be doing more harm than good, since usdm b20b's have a terribly low compression ratio.

you may not necessarily be running rich. but it sounds like you aren't burning fuel adequately. the backfire is likely due to this. could be a number of reasons.
check your timing. but check those codes first. unburnt fuel in the exhaust stream will contaminate an o2 sensor quick, so if it hasn't already, it will.

-check code(s)
-check timing
