Oh well, i was hoping you were driving 70. I got that same mileage with the original motor on a trip to florida and back once. But, my g/f says I was doing 45 part of the way and I was using the supermid to monitor fuel consumption.

dash is from a 99 si, Not sure if I will keep the glovebox or have it without because it interferes with the stock speaker placement(it will clear the door but cover the speaker). It will also take a lot of work if I want the a/c - heat - or any kind of fan working with this arrangement. Recently I've been thinking about trying to hybridize the insight fan/ a/c into here. Don't think there is enough room for the 99 stuff under there.

It is out of place. The dash bottom is tilted out slightly from its normal placement which makes that plastic under the a/c controls dive straight back. Its what was necessary to make it fit. The arm rest is a little far back but I sit far back anyway. Couldn't fit the plastics under the steering column for the 99 either way too tall and makes it where you can't see the pedals. Overall I think its workable and plan to go with pretty much how it is here.
