short stoke and fuel economy

i'm putting together an experiment, i have picked up a 88 crx for real cheap, the previous owner swaped in a 1.8 dohc engine, it has 2 rods out the block in it's current state. i have a b16 block i'm swaping in the car to get it going. so it will have a very short stroke, large bore, smallish port head and high compression. what do you guys think it will eco wise.
the wife drives 80 miles a day and is getting 32mpg right now in the current car. I'm hoping this will get 45+ untill i can find a good vx swap for the car.

just checked the gearing and found it will spin about 3800 rpm at 70!
