Default b18b ls hatch people: how many miles a tank?

I've got a 95 ls swap in a 92 hatch and I'm only getting 200-220 miles a tank.

I did calculate mpg and got roughly 23-25 mpg. What is the mpg spec on the LS?

Is this normal or am I running rich?

Also, what is the minimum octane requirement on these engines?

I'm currently running 89 and wondering if I should use 92.

Sorry if this topic have been covered before, I searched with no luck.

Thx....

the thing with that is the integra has a bigger gas tank than the civic. the civic only has about a 9-10 gallon tank, so you cant expect many miles per tank

Damn.. you guys got a lot more miles than I do.... I do not feel comfortable

driving with the gas gauge near the bottom all the time, especially my civic, the

gas gauge jumps up and down all the time like needle moves down when turning

right/uphill and needle goes up when turning left/downhill.....

How big is the capacity of the tank in eh2 hatches? I fill up between 7-8 gallons

when the gas needle is near the the empty line.
