Default ls vtec + b20 vtec owners..........gas?

what kind of gas mileage are you getting out of your ls vtec or b20 vtec engines? i'm planning to do a ls but maybe a b20 swap, just wondering what i don't have to look forward to..............also, what is your setup with your mileage please!!

-searched but kinda random, i want to know only these 2 engines and mostly the ls

thanks!

Getting 24 miles to a gallon and I mash the gas frequently..LS bottom end is mildly built and B16 head has upgraded valve springs and retainers...just make sure you get a tough/short brass fitting to run the vtec line...my cheap one broke..it was a bitch to fix

Yes 30mpg or so going 80mph @4000rpm...the Ls tranny is good for my daily beater.

As for my setup it has stock Ls rods, new Honda bearings, bolts, .25 type R pistons w/rings, hot tanked, decked, bored, honed, micro-polished crank, new gaskets, B16A head with titanium valve springs and retainers, Type R intake mani, stock ECU (chipped one took a ****), Ls timing belt and new LS water pump, GSR oil pump. 170whp I wish I turbo built the bottom end instead of going with a mild build, something for you to consider.
