Keep in mind that gas mileage also goes to hell as you increase power such as by porting. You don't even want to know how much a full bridge car drinks

It's shocking to find out how much an FC will actually drink once you get it ported. I know that was a rude awakening!

Welcome! For daily purpose, if you keep up to maintenance and don't mod it too hard you should be fine.

Welcome, mpg is all about how you drive if you take it easy it will be better then if you red line it every light. Ive gotten any where from 13-20mpg in my 88 turboII.
