more hp= less mpg. simplest equation in all of carhood. with more performance comes less "realiability" in your case fuel mileage. my 2.0 when it was cammed with big t/b and other crap it was doing about 19-20 at best. my 2.4 gets better now though and is faster (wonder if the 3.55 trans swap helped).
It's not the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stop at the bottom!
