Default Fuel Economy for Swapped CRXes

I searched and didn't find anything, granted I'm on my phone and when I narrow the search to just this section it doesn't work...

Anyway, could you tell me what year and trim your CRX is, the engine and transmission type and an idea of your gas mileage?

Thanks!

60 views and no replies? Burn.

Any idea though? I have an '88 HF with the original motor and I get awesome gas mileage, but I'm not a huge fan of the gearing and I need more oomph.

There is no way there's no one out there reading this who has a swapped CRX...
