In the city the gas can be gone in a day with the little fuel tank. On the highway Ive gotten about 30mpg even with a faulty o2 sensor.

you peoples gas mileage is horrible!

This is what pisses me off...I see posts like this, and then I see people calling Domestics 'gas guzzling v8s'....fact of the matter is, hardly any of you guys are getting any better gas mileage than they do!

my friends LS1 gets a consistent 22mpg in the city.....

For the sake of the post, I averaged 33mpg city w/b18b in a '92 CX. I guess driving habits affect the mileage a LOT. I'm sure there's people that could manage to get 20mpg city with my old swap...

You wanna talk about shitty gas mileage, go find a guy with a moded v8. My buddy did a big block swap on his 55chevy and he is lucky if gets anywhere around 12mpg. So if you want to compare imports to domestic, a modded import will a usually get better gas milege then a modded V8.
