With my K20A swap I get about 500 km from fill up to light on. Too lazy to figure out my mpg, but my mileage is similar if not better than my D17a2 was before the swap with regular driving. Step on it though, and it all changes. I also drive mostly city, and I find my car is hard on gas on the highway, but my 6th gear is also revving high, around 4k at 70mph. I usually switch around 4 to 4.5k

4k at 70mph on 6th gear? I'm around 2.8k at 70mph on 5th gear on my D17a1 and I'm about 4k at 100mph on 5th gear. Interesting!
