Vtec e is the Japanese equivalent of the d15z1 engine that is found in the Civic VX models which got a combined EPA of roughly 45MPG (with the new EPA standards). It is built strictly for fuel economy and has "lean burn" which, from my searches, cuts down on roughly 25% of fuel consumption during a lean burn cruise.
