The old sport oriented B-series and K-series Honda motors just get terrible gas mileage in general. The Acura TSX with the K-series 2.0 barely got 29mpg as well. Honda sold a v6 accord beside it and it was rated for the same or more mpg... (I could get 29 in a tsx and 31 in a v6 accord)
I'd probably attribute it to horrible gearing and the volumetric efficiency below v-tec is more than likely terrible as well.
Fun cars though if you aren't in it for mpg's. But we aren't so... haha
