The 5S isn't the most fuel efficient motor around, but you should be getting upper 20's though with mostly highway driving. Most people report the same if not better fuel mileage with the BEAMS. The MR2 Turbo got 27 on the highway, so should get that or better with the 3rd gen 3S-GTE.

Well I know with bigger injectors and all that my old Integra turbo build got about 17-19 in town that's why I was wondering about the 3gste's economy being turbo charged and all. -------------------- "As a professor of science, I assure you we did, in fact, evolve from filthy monkey-men." -Prof. Farnsworth
