Default I got a B18B1 setup but don't want to kill my mpg?

Does anyone have a 92-95 HB running a B18B1 that has checked their MPG?
I would like the extra power from time to time, but still have to drive it everyday.
The whole changeover is sitting in my yard in a wrecked 92 HB, but my B15B7 gets 34 in town and 43 on the road, but it has no power when I want to nail it.
The info would really help.
Thanks,
Ron

I have that setup. Driving aggressively I get between 33-36 mpg. When my exhaust was nice and tight I would get 42 freeway miles, I currently need to replace my donut gasket on my header so my o2 reading is off.

That's not too bad then. I looked up the mpg in stock Integra body, and it was a lot less, but I think the teg body is about 500 lbs heavier.
I drove the 92 up my back street with no bumpers or fenders, and it lit up the ground as compared to my 1.5.
I really want to do the swap to my car, but the gas mileage worried me.

Just remember doing fuel mods or chips will increase consumption. Also my b18b has a CTR N1 pulley on it.

One more question, can I use my cold air system from the D15B7 engine I already have?
Someone stole the B18B1 air system.
Thanks

If I remember correctly my intake is one that I had on my d15b7, it should just bolt up.

Thanks a million. Based on what your mpg is, I think I'm going to go ahead and make the change.
I love the way the wrecked car runs.
Thanks,
Ron
