Honda to chevrolet.
mostly city and some hw i get @ 210 - 230 a tank
i also have a 3400 stall and a fe other mods that affect that. when i was stock id get closer to 250 - 260 but i never let it go less then an 1/8 of a tank. usually @ 1/4 and im lookn for a gas station.
you'll be amazed by the power upgrade from 190 in the civic to the average 290 in the Z28's. do a few easy bolt ons basically and a tune and @ 350 is possible. a simple cam swap and your looking at 390's do heads and like a fast intake 440's all day long ( those are all estimate averages yes some ar higher and some are lower )

befor the stall i drove from memphis tn to camden ar, mostly highway but some city here and there. it was about 275 miles once its all said and done, i made it there w/ over 1/4 tank left. i figured i was getting at least 25mpg w/ 3.23 gears and A4

Before i had my SS i had a 2004 Chevy Cavalier 4 cylinder. Then switched to the SS OMG the difference was unbelievable. If you get a camaro u will never even miss your civic, except the gas mileage you got.
nice civic! i'm an auto with simple bolt-ons, currently i get 23-26 MPG and i drive highway all the time. 400 miles to a tnak is a good thing and having the hp and tq to pass someone up is good also
Definately get the ls1 over the lt1. I've had both. The Ls1 is a much better engine. You'll want to get a beater though as a daily driver. Leave the V8 muscle for the weekend fun. I got a beater subaru for 750. Had it 6 months and only changed the alternator.
