Without reversing many of the performance modifications (camshafts especially) it will be difficult to achieve great mpg's. High load, low rpm power is how you get great economy out of a car. That being said, you could realistically get 30's or better if tuned. I had a cammed, turbo d16 in a 1998 civic that could still get 40mpg on the highway.
