37ish MPG/Civic VX

Recently, I'd found a thread that was written by jlk16188, where he was only getting around 41mpg on his Civic VX:

I'm finding myself in a similar spot as you were, whereas I've been averaging around 37mpg on my 94 Civic Vx, with over 233,000 miles on the engine. My goal is to also achieve the ever coveted 50mpg.

So far, I have done the following:

-Installed & indexed new OEM NKG spark plugs.
-Installed a new OEM wire set from Majestic Honda.
-Installed a new OEM fuel filter/Majestic Honda.
-installed a new OEM cap & rotor/Majestic Honda
-Installed a new air filter.
-Cleaned out the idle control valve (i.e. but the hunting idle came back after a week)
-Cleaned out the throttle body.
-Did an oil change with Amsoil 5w30 with Amsoil filter.

Soon enough, I plan on installing a new PCV valve & a new exhaust in addition the the new 5-wire OEM O2 sensor.

In addition to all of this I've also considered:

-Replacing the fuel injectors.
-Replacing the screen on the fuel pump.
-Adjusting the timing.

Is there anything that I should add?
