I DID search the forums before posting!
I got returns like "Post your mileage" "How many miles per tank?" "Hybrids" "Gas mileage" (avg) "Checking your mileage" etc.
I got a few gems of information but not exactly what I was looking for and only after hours of reading things that were entirely irrelevant (like flames, how to drive conservatively, and who has driven how far on a tank of gas or their avg mpg).
So, to update: Unfortunately my last two days avg dropped a lot 34.8 mpg vs 40.1 mpg for the first day (220 miles). Variables seemed to be basically the same (maybe used ac/def 20% more).
What mods can I expect mileage improvements from. HP and torque gains are great, but secondary to mileage. Average driving speed is 75 MPH.
Ideas that the above searches (forum and web have given me):
Intake
underdrive pulley (main)
hyper voltage (or similar)
ground wire kit
Oh yeah, and I'd like to keep it all legal.

fvck man I know how u feel, mods are gonna be a$$holes to us untill our post counts reach about 1000 lol, as for ur question, try Turbonator yo!!! lol jk. Gearbox has a thread on this so I'll try to find it for u, I personally think that good maintenance is the key to save gas.

your thread was closed because there are countless threads on how to improve gas mileage. There is one right above done by gearbox on how to improve gas mileage. Now 34.8-40.1 MPG is damn good. I dont understand why you are complaining. Most of use on here are only getting between 25-30MPG. I only get 30. 40 is hella good. besides thats really what the civic gets anyway. what did you expect 50 MPG. Yea right. Now mods dont get you better fuel mileage, proper maintanence and good driving habbits get you good mileage.
Now if you arent getting the search results you want, try using a different phrase in the search bar. It isnt that hard.
I am locking this thread because Dj02 is correct, there are countless threads on how to improve fuel mileage. And because he already locked your first one and you reopened another one on the same thing.
