I typically get about 250-270 on about 9 gallons so that's a little under 30 mpg on average. This is with some performance parts + CTR cams.

my personal best is 36mpg on the highway, but I usually get somewhere in the high 20's with mixed city/highway. This is with a fairly high compression USDM b18c1 and 92 gsr YS1 trans.

My roommate gets mid-high 30's (best of 37mpg) with his LS/VTEC. He's got an LS 5th gear in his b16 trans, though, so I'm sure that makes up for quite a bit of it.

Yeah you can get good milage.... but when you first get the B... it is very hard to keep your foot out of it. And at that is uses some fuel. But yeah I get around 30mpg with my foot out of it

It <U>totally</U> depends with how you drive (and the transmission gearing).

In theory, my B18c engined 89 hatchback should get better milage than the Integra that the engine came out of due to being lighter.

The lightened flywheel in it's self doesn't decrease milage.

But, the thing is that I rev it all the time and enjoy the responsive engine. My milage isn't that good <U>due to me</U>, not the engine.

28 to 30 mpg@ 80mph on the highway. Get tuned. I originally had a generic chip and it ran ok but only got about 20 to 22 mpg
