Well, you might as well give up on the fuel filter...it's a combo piece part of the fuel pump. If the filter is bad the whole assembly must be replaced...$297 if I remember from when I was quoted about 6 months ago. Besides anybody really looking for better MPG's in this car might as well trade it in and get a Civic. I normally average 11 mpg in town and anywhere from 18-27 on the highway depending on how spirited I drive. But it's a sports car, I really don't care about shelling out money on fuel. Phil, be happy you're getting the mileage you're getting...I've talked to others that are far worse even driving all highway.
Also, when traveling the highway try keep your rpm's below 3800, it helps greatly since the secondary injectors don't open up until then. I know that's right around 70mph, but it does conserve the fuel..
