MPG, what's yours? Options

[frosty]

I just got done testing my mpg thinking it might be crappy since I read the 5s-fe runs rich and plus with the car being 'round 12 years old, but I was joyfully surprised to see I'm running 29+mpg city. (with ac running sometimes and having a heavy foot)

Just something to make me love my car alittle more, since I expected 24-.

I'm curiouse though since I want to either add a turbo or swap to a 2nd gen 3sgte as to what my mpg would turn out to be.

Who on here with either a 5s-fte or a 3s-gte swap (or the very few who have a 5s-gte) checked your mpg?


Just really curious.

(even if you don't have one of these set-ups you can still post your mpg )

interior/exterior accessories: i've been told that for every 100lbs in/on your car you lose about 10hp, i'll look into it but if thats true then the body kit you bought that weights 50lbs more than stock, just wasted you 5hp.

I read in a mag. that the rule of thumb was for every 50 lbs = 1 hp.

(the mag had a civic which the guy re-did the whole body in CF and lost 500 lbs in doing so.
