I had another turbo Honda and they did my ecu for that and that car got 32mpg(when you were being frugal). I found my experience with them to be good but that was for performance. Thank you for pulling up those ecu tables by the way. Do you skip shifts? Like 2nd to 5th or so or do you go thru the gears?
Ah! That's completely different. Theyll set up an FE tune for your OBD1 ecu? I do sometimes skip 4th, but only under certain conditions wheee the jump from 2200 in 3rd at cloae to 40 mph will allow an ultra low rpm (around 1200) 27-31% load cruise where I can turn on the alternator to generate some power in a depleted battery while still getting 80-100 mpg or when trying to wam up the engine in the morning.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
