The p12 is the ecu from the 92-96 prelude s which has the f22a1 motor. You can however,grab the steering wheel from said prelude and install it in your cb with a little modification"I'm a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude"
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

You probably won't get better mileage with mods. Modifications RARELY return better mileage without tuning. You'll run rich because you'll be taking in more air... and the ECU will be compensating for it by dumping more fuel.
There. All questions are answered. Joe took care of the rest... and mentioned the ONLY worthwhile part you can take from that 3rd gen Prelude.
What's the deal with all the "can I take the ECU from this old-ass Prelude?" questions lately? Everyone seems to be hearing about the P12 somehow, but they aren't following through in finding out what it's from!

keep it all stock, run stock wheels, add a h23 plenum and throttle body, i have heard that is the only mod that ups the mpg. Use synthetic oil if you would like to take the risk of running it on a high mileage motor, seafoam it, or run some lucas feul cleaner, or get some 44k BG fuel additive (stuff works wonders) Put 40psi in the tires. These are the only little things that will get you good gas mileage, but most of all keep your foot out of it.

so it's not necessarily running rich, but your engine will be using a bit more fuel

My first modication was a short-ram intake, and I noticed a little better gas mileage. Once you start getting into spacers and all that, they won't help your gas mileage. Probably make it worse. Like Deev said, more air...more fuel. The only thing I noticed that gave me better gas mileage, in your list...was the p12, but I sorta downgraded from the pt6 ecu (from the f22a6), to the p12, so my gas mileage was bound to get better anyway.
It's hard to notice if your gas mileage is gettin' better or not, after mods. People don't just put intakes...headers...exhausts, on cars....and still drive them like a grandma. Once you hear the sound of the intake when you get on it, your gonna be on that gas pedal a little more than usual. More mods you get, the heavier your foot gets. Every kid around here, that bolts..(not welds), but actually bolt a fart can on their car, runs the piss out of it. I noticed my better gas mileage with the short-ram, on the highway just coasting for 300+ miles. I noticed about a 20 mile difference in the tank. 335 to 360. Well, that's 25, but still..it's a tad better.98' Mustang 3V Swap
