civic owners-whats your mpg?

I'm a honda enthusiast and would love to hear what mods you have and what your mpg returns are.

please respond in following format:

94 civic dx (mine)
214,xxx
manual transmission
MODS:
airdam (extending to a 2.5" ground clearance and regularly scraping)
80% grill block
DRIVING STYLE:
slow accelerations, 65mph freeway, neutral coasting as soon as possible to stops.
MPG AVERAGE:
49.2 (5 tank avg.. not the most scientific but it takes time at 500miles/tank)- Pending new average, new clutch with 8.5lb flywheel. I'm hoping for reduced rotational mass will increase engine efficiency


97 civic lx(wifes)
111,xxx
MT
MODS:
airdam 3.5" (clearance in center and 2.5" clearance approaching wheels, occasionally scraping)
DRIVING STYLE:
slow accelerations, remaining in gear using engine braking to stops.
MPG AVERAGE:
36


Pictures pending


edit: curious to see what other manual transmission drivers shift points are-
94 dx- 2000 rpm +-100
97 lx- 2300 rpm +- 200
