Default what do you guys get for MPG?

So im am running a D16Y8 @7psi and am trying to get the best most effective fast good on gas setup i can put together. i know that speed and MPG dont go together but i want to get the closest most balanced system setup. Now this is my list that i have put together that i will be running, if any comments please butt in, 450cc DSM, VAFC-II, Resistor box, OBD1 chipped on crome. And another ? is does a smaller ratio of FMU get better MPG then a bigger one?

well, stock, I got up to 25 or 26 HWY and down to (lowest) 15 city, usually about 20 average mixed travel though. 18-21 or so.

I don't know what I get now though, but I'm not running boost.

WTF?!!!! IN A CIVIC?!! That's terrible. Is your right foot just glued to the floor?

OP: Your gas mileage will depend a lot on your tune. When you're not in boost, hopefully they will just tune it to run close to factory specs. You should still get gas mileage in the high 20s....unless your turbo is very small or spools at very low RPMs.

Either his foot is too heavy or he's dumping fuel over the ocean while waiting for clearance to land or something.

37-40 hwy with a couple miles a day in the city. It is a D16z6 w/ I/H/E. The car hardly ever see's 4k rpm and on the freeway it will hardly see 70mph or anything over. I dont drive with a lead foot or like a high schooler anymore. Oh, and I drive in CA where the freeways always have traffic so that isnt bad. I guess I have all the times of when to not be on the road.
