Default MPG in your swapped ef

I just recently put a b20 with a b16 tranny is my ef sedan. I noticed my mileage isn't the greatest. Just wondering what kind of mileage everybody else is getting in their similar swapped sedan?

I get 31-33 mpg driving back and forth from school with my 90 ls swap(motor and trans). It's a mix of highway, and hills. If I laid off the throttle I could get better, but I'm happy.

Never got a tank under 30. That was in city and highway. Worse tank I ever got was 30.02 and that was with a 2 day autocross. Mainly got 30-34

it's a 94 b18b1 with a 93 ls transmission. in the city i get around 27.5 i want to say and all highway i think i hit 35. it's been awhile since i've driven the car (it's been in storage over winter), and a very long time since i've had an entire tank devoted entirely to highway driving lol.

I know it's an older thread, but I found it interesting and wanted to bump it.
91 crx, b18c1, JDM Y1 tranny w/LSD, 100% stock internals.

100% City: ~28-30 mpg average
60/40 (hwy/city): 38.5 mpg (personal best). That's NOT driving conservatively, just normal driving and some full throttle blasts.

b16a with GSR YS1 = 28
B18a1 with GSR YS1 = 30

I'm not ripping on it but I like to keep the RPM's up there. With the b16a I hit vtec at basically every light. Sounds like some of you need a tune up/tune.
