So I got a new job a couple weeks ago. Got my first check yesterday and I am going to be able to save up for it quick so i'm wondering would a 3sgte swap still be decent on gas? I'll be driving an average of 35 miles a day but want something more fun to drive.

I've got a pretty stock 93T MR2, and she gets 25-26 mpg around town, up to a max of 30-31 if all highway.
My 99 Celica's 5S-FE gets...pretty much the same mileage. 26 day to day, 31 highway.  At least that's on regular gas, not premium like my MR2 needs. But I second what was said earlier, you NEED to have a reliable (if slow and boring) car to drive when your swap is under the knife. That's why I got my Celica, because right now the front end of the MR2 is on jack stands while I rebuild the power steering. |
