I'd love to try one of those. My DX can put up great numbers, and your is better. You've got the 2-door body (better aero and ~50lb lighter), and the lean-burn vtec-e engine, which also gives better low-end torque. Great for P&G. Also, I see your gearing is taller than mine. 2100 rpm gives me about 46-47 mph, to your 60.
I have a grille block, but may be removing it soon for summer. I cut up pieces of an exercise mat, and they press-fit right in. Split top-bottom and left-right, so any of the 4 pieces can be popped out in a second. Tires at 60psi (rated 44) makes a huge difference. Even 44 feels like driving through mud now. And the Scangauge. The rest is driving technique. Pulse & glide to the max, keep the rpm low, drive as if you have no brakes, etc.
60 in summer is within reach. I just posted my best tank of 61.7 mpg.
