This is what my 2000 S gets. As others have said, making sure maintenance is up to snuff can make a big diff.
Have replaced an 02 sensor in a honda one time and mileage improved by 10 mpg, so the point about checking the sensors as well as MAF is well taken.
In regards to oil, if you are using M1 0W40 it is probably already sheared to a 30 weight (thin) so oil is probably not going to make much of a diff. in mpg. I switched to redline 5W40 for hopefully improved protection and less shear. The car is noticably quieter and smoother but have not checked mpg. I have also noiced it seems to crank faster when starting which is encouraging. No noticable change in power or oil consumption.
