So I got a new job a couple weeks ago. Got my first check yesterday and I am going to be able to save up for it quick so i'm wondering would a 3sgte swap still be decent on gas? I'll be driving an average of 35 miles a day but want something more fun to drive.

I've gotten about 12k on my 3s swap so far.. Been running great. Best i've got for mileage was 29mpg and that was on the highway and only getting on it very few. Lol but that compared to my stock 95 gt celica It's so much more fun to drive lol. But the daily does get driven more. just cause of weather lol.

whats your normal driving speed on the freeway and where are you rpms at??? long e153 gearing helps out with mpg
