i get about 40 mpg in my 90 civic, and it's all stock automatic. so you don't need a swap, you just need to fix your pile

you definately need to edit your post.
its hard to understand what you are writing.

okay...well what damn fuel pump is in there? there are tons of fuel pumps that will work fine in that car...so maybe its the pick-up and not the pump among a slurry of other things that are wrong with the car

I got almost 40mpg this past summer with my almost stock b16a2.

Either something is wrong with your car or you don't know how to calculate your fuel mileage....

iwanna93sihatch

well it works fine just passed etest no problem and i dont know for like $10 which is say 11.5 litres i get 140kms driving normal?
and the fuel pump i dont know even the garage that checked it out when i bought it said its like 3inchs shorter?
thanks tho everyone for assuming its a pile

imported_kIeRaN

get a new fuel pump would be my recomendation, its easier then swapping a motor

iwanna93sihatch

Yeah i know its cheaper but thats not going to make it any better on fuel? with the 140kms for $10> what does everyone else get? i dont know arent the vtec engines best on fuel? thats all i wont to know which engine will not be to big of a hassel and be better on fuel

Nova_Dust

Gas price varies, so don't use 10 dollars per km theory.

In general, for a full tank of gas (40 liter), if you can net above 500 to 550km, you are doing alright.

13km per liter is good enough.

First off do you even know what vtec does? If you keep it out of the vtec range then you'll be saving fuel.

You may want to change your oil, air filter, pcv valve, sparkplugs, etc., The basic tune-up stuff.

ok then thanks guys i guess i dont aprichiate the rude comments tho really im here looking for help from those that i think know the most so a good yes no or help would be good not a fix that pile haha my car is mint an runs mint jus didnt know maybe im expecting a bit more then i should an i know what vtec is i jus thought in general most vtec at least d series are good on fuel an vtec was a fuel saving method there for when u wanted the power u hit vtec thats all im saying but yeah thanks tho

we can't help you when you don't have a specific question.

if you said... should I change my pump, I'd say pull it out and see if it's the wrong one to begin with.

just saying your mileage sucks is no help. it might suck cuz you drive like a retard. how should I know?

Nova_Dust

Please, add a few commas when you can, it is really hard to read.

periods would also help where appropriate.

imported_mikepasini

you're doing much better than me

sounds like you need a tune-up, or to stop beatin the crap out of it.
