B16ASilverHonda has a spectacular aura about

modifications decrease gas mileage, not increase.

tune up maybe?

Fuel Filter
Spark plugs
Oil Change
New Cap, Rotor, & Wires
BG Injector Cleaner
BG Deposit control addiditive

that might help restore your gas mileage a little

Exactly. thats your problem, your stock air box was pulling in cooler air than that thing you have on there now.

Seriously, an intake wouldn't make much of a difference.

You're the problem. You're probably gunning it and driving it harder to hear and "feel" your new mod.
