Thanks for the motivation jedi sol. Because I do drive the car over 100 miles every day, I will definitely keep trying different things, but at this point, I think the best mod I can make is swapping in a lean burn engine from a Civic VX. Don't get me wrong, an MPGuino has been a thought several times, and I'll very likely do that, but I'm not willing to destroy the look of the car. I even removed my grill block because it looked pretty bad...and it didn't change my mileage appreciably. In fact, going back to stock tire pressure, no grill block...basicly reversing nearly everything I've done to the car, I got my longest fuel tank ever, and nearly my best fuel economy ever, so my particular car, for whatever reason, seems to care mostly about driving style than anything else.
