Damn Canucks weren't paying attention that week or something. Maybe it was during the playoffs.

I have been considering the Hondata Flashpro, and if you are going to mod, that should be your first one. You can pick up 15-20HP through the midrange just by lowering VTEC and it programs in a VTEC window, that adjusts the changeover based on where it needs to be, so there is always VTEC at the right RPM.
It also allows you to switch to the JDM Type R throttle map, which cures the rev hang problem.
Then, it has base maps for just about every basic bolt on combo you can think of, and it still maintains the ability to fully tune it, with boost or whatever you want to do.
In essence, it is the best first mod you can make.

I can imagine you as a fairly conservative driver when sitting at the highway for 10+ minutes.....what's the most you've gotten from a full tank?

My car get INFINITE mileage. It IS a Honda afterall.
Honestly Vero, the MPG never changed much. It started out around 26-27MPG combined, but now it is up to about 28-29. It has been slightly less lately, because it has to warm up everyday, but is still in the 27 ish range.
Oddly, the highway MPG is about 31 MAYBE 32, so it isn't much better than the combined figure.
I wouldn't necessarily say I drive "conservatively" I get VTEC quite a bit, often just because, but I don't rape it every stop light either, so a happy medium.
The most I have ever gotten out of a tank was 330 miles. It wasn't necessarily my best tank, I just didn't have any money to get gas at that time. It allowed me to verify that the low fuel light worked...
The thing I really can't get over about this K20Z3 though is how responsive it is in a similar weight package, and how, despite being generally more powerful, it gets at least as good of MPG as the Accord with the H22.
Whereas the H feels like an on/off switch, this one has much more accessible power throughout the powerband and just hardly ever feels flat footed if you aren't below 2,000-2500 RPM, whereas the H feels pretty flat anywhere below VTEC and ESPECIALLY below 3,000 RPM. I mean, below 3,000 it isn't a rocket or anything, but it can certainly keep the pace of traffic with no issues. And the K series VTEC crossover is even 500 RPM higher. Even when it is in the torque hole, it still feels better.
