Default maximum possible gas mileage mpg

what is the most mileage that anyone has gotten from their neon. i currently dance around 32 and i have added a cold air intake and one of those fuel line magnets. i was thinking about installing headers, a downpipe without a cat, and a higher flowing muffler, possibly even disabling the pcv and egr systems. does anybody have experience with this? thanks for the input. i have a 96 with an auto tranny.

S-afc is the key word here. you mess with the emissions system , you will run pig rich and will need the safc to "take away" fuel. currently, i am at 22-23 mpg.
