I get 33-35mpg regularly in mine, but relatively short trips. Longer trips can be ~36-27mpg avg over a tank.

Coolant temp sensor is a favourite for causing over-fueling

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Well my engine is 100% standard apart from a little cb-28 valve which i have closed as i hate the sound lol.. And a after market back box but im putting anywhere between £30 - £50 a week. I used to have a Prelude 2.2 Vtech and i wasnt putting anywhere near as much in.
