Question from a Noob

Unfortunately I have recently inherited my mother's '93 civic LX. It has 123K miles, and will be my commuter car. I have lots if experience modding cars, but none with Hondas. I have another car that I have already modified for performance, so for this car I will be looking to squeeze as many miles per gallon as I can.

I know this is a performance forum, so I am simply asking if anyone here knows of any web resources that are devoted to tweaking these cars for max economy? Does such a thing exist?

Alan (hoping the experts here take pity on the old guy).
