Actually the 99-00 Civics got a refreshed front fascia and changed the design. Emissions regulations could've played a role in the mileage decrease as well. I know there were a few different Code versions for the ECUs available for the different years. Also, did you compare all the CVT models or Manual models and not mix the two? The CVT models did not have a wideband O2 in them.
