Update:
I bought the transmission I was talking about but it turned out to be from 1999 Civic EX.
At the same time I put stage 1 Exedy clutch, light weight flywheel, 15'' alloy rims (heavier than stock).
I know that some of the above may not help to increase FE but I wanted to see what will happen by transferring the inertia from the flywheel to the wheels.
The car traveled farther while on neutral but the overall MPG dropped from 37 to around 34, could be the cold weather is to blame I don't know.
While driving at 65mph the rpm is around 2700.
I am still shopping around for obd1 trip meter that can help me get more accurate result.
Also I couldn't use the highway most of the time due to HOV, so I was stuck in traffic in the morning.
