Checked your fuel log and I am am reminded of your older build, that 3 stage vtec Civic you modded. You edited the ECU to get "ultra lean burn" at certain freeway cruise RPMs and edited other parameters to produce more power.

What is your ultra lean burn range now? I remember you were using a CX/VX transmission IIRC to keep RPMs down. But this car has pretty short gearing, no?

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.
