The intake, filters, and exaust stuff will help your engine breath much better at high power settings, but they won't do much at low power settings such as what one uses when driving for economy. I am over 250,000 miles on my civic, my crx had 350,000 when I sold it. I had another honda before that with only 90,000 miles that I never should have sold. A 4th-6th gen civic would be my choice if I was looking for another econo ride.

CRX hf, civic vx or hx.
