Shoot, with a CAI and a 2mm headgasket, (otherwise stock, before turbo) I was happy to hit 230 per tank!

Dyno showed I was way rich in VTEC.

Dyno your car, see what the tuner tells you.

i average 220-230, totally stock, vtec only a hand full of times per tank, drive like an old lady the rest of the time... your still beating me at 250, you should be happy

but i figure my ACTUAL MPG rather than full tank figures... so averaging 21-22mpg

That isn't much of a drop. It could be a million little things such as low tire pressure, more traffic, a bit more throttle, more A/C usage, or it is just time for a tuneup/fluid change. Hell my gas mileage fluctuates between 180 - 300 per tank depending on how hard I drive it and/or how much traffic i run in to. That is on tanks used for DD only.
