del sol vtec mileage

Hi, I regularly get mid 30s with 95 el sol vtec and have gotten 42 a few times with very careful,slow driving. You might want to check engine temp -should be mid rannge on guage- I had a thermostat that was not quite closing completely and temp was slow to come up and mileage really dropped. My ox sensor was original at 215,000 miles and mileage was still really good but I changed it just because of high miles-used bosch generic-mileage seemed unaffected. How about just going up in tire diameter to get gearing change? Could get 5% or more with an inch or so diameter increase.
