97 cx civic with a hx civic swap?
 

hi i had a 94 cx with a vx swap last year and loved it! but i got to have a truck also for work not everyday but still need one! my 03 ranger getting 20mpg is driving me nuts! i am looking at picking up a 97 cx hatch with a bad motor and i also found a totaled 98 low mileage hx. i know the hx models are similar to the vx motors. my question is what kinda mpg can i expect with a hx swap in a light weight cx civic? I would also put either the hx wheels or vx wheels if i can find a set!

Well i get around 50 in my HX. I would expect similar results.

Well, I am averaging a little above 50MPG in my 97 HX. I commute about 100 miles per day and average about 70MPH on the freeway. I do about 80% freeway and 20% city. All stock.

hmm.... maybe I should just buy a hx
