I'm pretty sure there's stuff you can put in your gas tank that's supposed to get the most out of your octane.

well most stuff will ether hurt mileage or void warranty here is some stuff tho CAI, Chipping it, exhaust, and higher quality fuel, but you have an auto civic don't worry u will be considered a ricer they only have a 1.6 motor its to small to make fast just enjoy the fuel economy

i drive it primarily for the fuel economy anyway, decent speed and good maneuverability dont hurt though

if it voids the warranty fuck it, and i dont think id put money into it after its over anyway, because im probably going to just sell it then anyway

warranty is up in sep. 2013

that wouldn't give you too much but it'd give better throttle response

It's a good starting point but in the big picture, it won't gain you but one or two horsepower.. You won't be able to feel it.

K20 swap? :)
