all of mine have varied greatly, my first n/a FC got 28-31mpg during normal driving conditions, and about 18-22 when hard driving (it would do a 14.1 1/4), my 2nd FC (automatic) got about 24 or so normal driving, my 3rd (current) one did about 26-28 highway, and the vert does about 20-22 on a good day.

i found gas mileage varies with which mods you have, my 14.1 car had an intake and full exhaust, my auto was stock, the GXL had full exhaust and intake, and the vert has quite a bit done.

That should help start you out. Just type "gas mileage" into the Search function.

16-18 city, i can eek out almost 28 if i keep it around 3500rpms or lower on the interstate (leanest cruise according to my wideband... some weird **** goings on with my A/F since i put on an 'intake', currently trying to figure out my emanage ultimate, may go with SAFC for ease).
RB road race header (w/6-port pressure tube version) custom 2" true dual to dual 2.5" catback 2x OBX-r mufflers, pineapple racing intake inserts.
now, my biggest mod, for gas mileage, is my 93 honda civic, 40mpg on the interstate, woooOOooOooo. but, about all it can pass is a gas station, sooo....

Once you drive a swapped corsica, a 460BB ford truck, the 7 gets great gas mailage.
