If hes worried about MPG, he better be using a DX. or even better and HF.

and si Trans will distroy his MPG.

Im almost not looking forward to putting my b16 into my crx.

I've got ZC in my 89 with an Si trans. I'm not sure of the mileage, but its really not that bad. I thought it was going to be worse.

i get way worse mileage with vtec engines than i ever did with my zc....seems like you get all excited rippin thru gears with vtec and the next thing you know you're on empty!! my last 98 prelude could get as bad as 17-18 mpg when romping on it.....and my 02si can get as low as 20 also. just stay out of vtec range and all is good; yeah right lol.

ZCs have more agressive cams comapred to Bseries vtec mid range cam, so they sould get worse gas mileage, similar to a B18a.
