Default MPG in my CRX?

I currently get right around 41 MPG in my DPFI DX CRX. Would a swap with MPFI (DOHC/SOHC ZC or z6) really drop that number?

I have no a/c (well, thats hooked up anyway) and I drive a lot on the highway, although I get on it from time to time. With the recent gas prices and my $$$ situation I'm trying to keep gas milage good, and save cash for a motor.

I'd say thats pretty good. I get about 210 miles outa 8 gallons right now. If you get 265 outa 8 gallons thats about 33mpg.

I get about 30mpg in my B16CRX. That's without hitting VTEC very often.

How are you guys getting 35-40 mpg on DX engines (d15b2)? I own an all stock 1991 Civic STD HB. On one full tank of gas, I get about 337 miles on Unleaded Plus, tried reg ad premium, but got worse mileage. The stock mileage ratings for the STD hatch is 35/37 whereas the DX is at 32/34 due to its slightly higher weight. My car only has 114,000 miles on it. What is the deal??

Yea the tank is 11.x gallons but when you get to E you've got about 3 gallons left. Whenever Im on empty and I fill up, the pump stops pumping at around 8 gallons.
