previous owner said he did one. I pulled a plug or two out and it seems clean and good?
Id love to get 24 highway.

Careful about modding cars for miliage... are the parts/labor worth thier weight in gasoline? Usually not. i love the people that say they got the intake, headers and exhuast for the better gas miliage... spending $1000 on parts and probably almost as much on labor will take you yearssssssss to make up the difference with saving a few gallons even since gas has tripled in price over the years! even $500 is ALOT of gas.
Light rims/tires that are skinny that are checked weekly for proper fill will help a good deal... dont fill the tank up every time, a gallon of liquid weighs a good deal...sure free weightloss is good, but if youre a fatass lose some weight yourself lol love seein these 300lbs'ers ride around in thier civics expecting good miliage hahaha....
keep the windows up, dont use the a/c, lite foot pressure, neutral or clutch in for down hills and comming up to red traffic lights, no need to waste gas getting to a stop faster unless some dip****s behind you tailgating... dont pass cars unless they are travling slower then you already, trailing vans and trucks works to a decent degree on long trips, get a ride with someone else as often as possible or get a motorcycle lol, def lose body kits or anything like that, keep the motor, tranny and diffs well oiled, make sure the airfilter is big and clean as possible, keep up with tuning...ahh and air resitance isnt linear to speed, its exponential so slow down! going twice as fast makes 4x the resitance...not 2x.

Well, the engine should only command as much fuel as it needs from the injectors. So if you stay out of it you won't be using their full capacity. If you put smaller ones in you will probably have a fuel starvation problem at WOT. It's a question of fuel use, not injector size.

at this point any money you put into it outside maintenance will cost you more than you'll save.

If you're 6'7, this is a simple problem. Cut the floor out.
