Poor Gas Mileage
JDM B16A SIR2, P30 ecu, i/h/e, test pipe.
I am getting 15-18 mpg aroud town right now, BUT i'm getting 35-37 mpg highway (cruising around 4K)??? So the poor gas mileage only occurs around town. My idle fuel pressure is right around 30 psi. There are no CEL's. I really don't know where to start, I'm going to replace the fuel filter and check that the fuel return line isn't pinched...but beyond that I need some reccomendations of what to look at...Thanks

My idle fuel pressure is right around 40 psi and the peak for WOT is around 75 psi. There are no CEL's.

how is your driving style?
do some of the followings for better mpg.
Ground kit.
Seafoam
clean fuel injection / new sparks
