Welcome. I used to have a 91 STD hatch with a first gen JDM b16, which spun at 4400 @ 80 mph And I still got 37 mpg in the one highway trip I made, which included two 100mph onramp merges Theres a guy on HT who CLAIMS to hit 40 mpg in an h22 hatch, which is "running more rich than Oprah on a treadmill"
Good luck getting the most FE out of your Honda, but it looks like youve already been doing very well

I also have a B16, and have been getting an average of 35 mpg mixed! Usually keeping the rpm's over 3000
I never really go over 60 or so and am in the 36-38 range (90 STD hatch w/ d16z6).
I must suck at FE driving or something.
47.7mpg is possible. My car got 44mpg at 70mph.
The dx tranny is just right. I would want a taller 1st. My 1st is too short, I don't know how the ex and si guys are handling it.
cruise60-65mph on 2 lane back roads
CX chassis
stock z6 ECU
short/warm air intake, OEM z6 header, no cat, stock CX exhaust
that was my setup for a year but the best i could get back then was 36mpg. then again i was never going even 65..... i did notice a .5mpg drop after putting a cat on...

You have different cars, and you don't have a vtec engine like 90CivicStandard has.
A DX engine is built for Fuel Economy much more so that a d16z6 engine is.
