3S-GTE Questions,, MPG, COST, Options

[nikon57]

hey everyone... Im looking into doing a 3S-GTE swap when I get my celica
I was actually looking at the ST246 254 HP quoted on this site.

Now I called for a quote and I got a quote in Calgary of $1600 CDN dollars for all the stuff for a complete swap. Obviously shippign aint goign to be that good... but still at that price I cant loose or can I? LOL

Anyways My question is does that seem really cheap?
Secondly Anyone who has done that swap what kind of mileage can I expect from the car?

Thanks tonnes

I dont know about the 4th gen 3S, but I know the 3rd Gen 3S can get clost to 50MPG even with it modified. I was reading in Sport Compact magazine about this competition they had about the "best supercar" it was loaded with EVO's, skylines, a miata, RX-7's and one 1995 MR2. to make a long story short, on pump gas, this built 3S got 47MPG (if 91octane was used, it was noted.. which it was not on the mr2) They werent sure how, but if I can find the magazine in my room I can list off the modifications it had... also this MPG test was done uphill....
