97 Civic HX owner looking to learn some mpg tricks in Texas

Hi everyone! My name is Noy and I recently picked up a stock 1997 Civic HX 5spd manual with 208k miles that was driven by an elderly gentleman.

Currently i have been averaging 31-35 mpg (A/C on about 80% of the time, yes, its a bit hot here in Texas lol) by calculating it based on gallons each time i fill up. I figured I should be averaging much higher. After doing some research it turns out I have a California spec car (P2N-L22 ecu) and swapped it out for a 49 state spec ecu (P2N-A22 ecu) just today that I purchased from eBay so hopefully that'll help?

I also have a Scangauge and Scangauge-E equipped on the car to help with controlling throttle and load while driving around town. I also plan on cleaning the EGR chamber and doing a full tune up within the coming weeks, so hopefully that'll help my mpg's also.

Anyway, long story short, hopefully I can learn a few things from here to help boost my mpg's.

Regards,

Noy
