Default Gas Mileage. D16 to B18

I have a 95ex coupe with a D16Z6. Going to swap in a B18C. What was your gas mileage before and after your swap? Right now I'm only getting around 29-30 on the greddy turbo kit, but before turbo it was around 33 city pretty much. Thanks.

Nate

if you can keep your foot off the gas you can still get 30mpg+ in the city.

92 VX with 99 B18C1 - noticeable gas mileage decrease due to the VX being the economical model.
91 CRX DX with 96 B18B1 - gas mileage about the same but GSR gearing dropped it short by a few.

b18b CX I was getting 33/40. I guess a GSR would be slightly lower than that highway from gearing unless you cruise at 55mph

Is the gsr tranny geared lower than the z6 tranny? 55, is the highest speed limit we have here, lol. Pretty much everything is 45... Thanks.
