I'm back with a different engine.

My theory of driving the car like crap didn't help, stuff would always break. When I hypermiled I had no problems with the car. Anyway long story short, i'm back. How would I go about getting better mpg out of more powerful motor. I still have my civic dx but now with a jdm zc motor. Transmission is for the dx model.

I'll report some scangauge numbers in January after I get the electronics worked out. I can't get a accurate reading because of electronics, also I'm still adjusting to driving with the new motor. For starters I want 35mpg combined driving then we will take it from there. My last motor reported 27mpg right before it died.
