Subscribed! I haven't been as active on Ecomodder as of late but it's always good to see another Civic build.
On my Insight, doing engine off coasting around town meant the difference between 50 mpg and 75 mpg in city traffic. Now my Prius C does that automatically and still gets 75 mpg!
The Insight had EPS though so I didn't lose steering with engine off. Coasting is huge, and even coasting in neutral in my old Civic and minimizing brake usage when I could helped a lot.
What tire pressure are you running? If most of your driving is around town, increased tire pressure will help more than aeromods.
Running a 80% grille block in the winter helped warm up a ton although I did have to dial it back to around 50% in the summer. Like others have said, most of your low MPG is due to idling around town and the warm up process.
Nice score on the lightweight wheels!
