Default what motor and or trans setup will give me similar mpg to a d15

I was looking to get a d15z1/d15b7 as a daily driver but unsure the lack of power may frustrate me abit.

So is the a motor and or trans setup that is good that will give me similar mpg?

thanks

i have a JDM D15B vtec, that may be what your looking for.

yea...you either want a little spunk in the motor, or you want mpg...its one or the other.

a buddy of mine has a 450k mile b7, yea its had 3 headgaskets but it still runs mint, and gets 36 mpg day in and day out. He swears by them. I have one myself in a older civic I dont drive much. Its slow and I dislike it, til it comes time to put gas in it, then I love it, :D
