I think you should keep this project alive. I've got a 1994 GSR motor and im getting 43-44 tank mpg with it, so i know the motor is capable of more. Granted, its with Engine off coasting/pulse and glide/underbelly tray/front grille block/side mirror delete/rear wheel skirts/front wheel covers. Before aero mods, i got about 37-38mpg just based on pure driving style alone (EOC/pulse and gliding, MPGuino)(and this is with a del sol, which has a worst coefficient of drag than your car).
Instrumentation (scanguauge, ultragauge, mpguino, at minimum a vacuum gauge) IS A MUST, if you want to get noticeable mpg gains because having real-time mpg readings help keep your right foot i check. Simply driving slower wont always guarantee better mpgs, you need to drive slow AND have a light foot.
