Terrible Fuel milage-97 Civic EX

I just got my 97 Civic EX (1.6 L, 5 spd) and am getting only 13-14 MPG! I installed a CAI, that has helped none, except slightly better performance. The CEL light has never blinked, but does work, as it lights up with all other lights when you turn the key. I trieg 2 types of fuel system cleaners now-no help yet. Any ideas? Thanks-Ric
