Welcome Darkrider, I have the same car you do, 94 Integra, but in LS form with broken ABS...so the same car.

I'm still pretty new here too, but I've done two things that made a very big difference to my car. First, I jacked the tire pressure to 44psi, and that seemed to add about 1 mpg, then I also built a cardboard grill block prototype that works perfectly, keeps the engine in the temp range it should be, and stopped the parachute effect of that wide open mouth and gave me another 1.5 mpg. I've also adjusted my driving style so all in all, I'm getting about 33.5 mpg combined with my teggy.
