If you want fuel economy pick a d15z1 or a d15b8. But they are both slow as ****. They barely have enough power to pull them selves away from their shadow.

For North American vehicles, the order for fuel economy goes something like this:

LESS FUEL | D15Z1(90hp) < D15B8(70hp) < D15B7(102hp) < D16Z6(125hp) | MORE FUEL

Note that no Canadian vehicle received the D15B8.

Since everyone has already missed it, The key to 'killer' MPG is hardly the motor IMO with honda's, its the gearing and how its driven.

If you want killer MPG, Yes, You want a D15B8 or Z1, but more importantly you want the TRANSMISSION associated with those motors as it is wide as Russia, and that is what gives those 2 motors the ability to get north of 45-50mpg.

I DD an LS Swapped civic coupe and still manage 35mpg out of it.
