If you want a tach, you can swap out the cluster. I think I paid about $70 for the CR-V cluster I put in my Civic (CR-V cluster is orange instead of blue, which I liked). Swap was easy as can be. I prefer analog tachs to digital like the SGII or Ultragauge. The digital ones have a little lag.

You can add cruise. My Civic didn't have it either, but my dad installed an aftermarket cruise when he owned it before me. I think it was $300-400.

Ultragauge will work with it. I personally wouldn't buy a SGII for it. SGII is only worth it for hybrids and other vehicles that make use of the X-gauges.

As darcane and Pale have said, it'll get the same MPG as the DX and LX. Just remember that most of the Civics on here are manual. With your mainly highway driving, 35MPG should be doable stock.
