I've been using my SR as a daily driver for about 3 years now. Get between 25 and 30 mpg in stop and go traffic. Just luck of the draw on engines, some are great, some are lemons.

I use mine as a daily. Problems I've had are nothing out of the ordinary I guess for getting a used motor.

Daily driven for about 10 months now. Little stuff here and there to fix. Not too bad.

it certianly would be nice to have a second car! that way i could pull my engine right now and jsut rebuild. but yea i've only have small things go wrong like the alternator died and that sucked to find a replacement! and now there is no hot air in my cabin so i'm trying to find the problem there...replaced the thermostat the other day and i hope that has fixed it. oh well, its the price we pay for having a kick *** engine right?!? /end rant

Before you put your motor in, make sure you get the new gasket from a fairlady and get rid of those locktabs and use loctite and lockwashers )) I currently have a leak there and it SUX

tuning very wel could help your mpg. i'd check for other things though cause tuning is EXPENSIVE. i'm no expect on how the fuel system works so maybe someone reading this thread will be able to help you out

I get about 28mpg with my GT25R, I've had my SR for about a year and a half, I've put about 16k on it. It's not my primary car. But i'm a street racer, it's hard to find the good races when you're not driving your car!!!
