I’d like to start messing with the VTC once it warms up, I noticed the base tune VTC is very low in the lower rpm. I didn’t have much time to mess with the tune the last time I had my laptop in the car, but I tested 30° VTC in the lower rpms and the car was demanding like 30% less fuel. Hopefully once I start messing with that area the car picks up some MPG. And just to be clear, I’m the type of guy that would rather blow up a couple $700 motors learning to tune than pay someone, and I would never tune someone else’s car no matter how good I felt I was.

I recently picked up a stock 2009 civic si with the k20z3, and it only got 26mpg on a full tank with the cruise set on the highway. So I honestly figured the 86 might not get any better than 20 with my aero.
Only thing I changed on the provided base map was learning mode, oil temp sensor calibration and when fans kick on. I’m running same setup as you other than injectors if I recall correctly. I also have an ac compressor.
