I'm averaging about 27 MPG, because I drive fast, but it gets 33 MPG on a the freeway. I was just playing with a Teggy GSR 2 days ago, because he was giving me a hard look. He didn't look like he knew what left him behind.

If you're comparing a swapped car, then compare a gsr swapped civic, not a GSR. I averaged more MPG's in hatch then in your mx3, and I'm sure it was faster. not hating, KLZE swapped MX3 is no joke, but I've read that those heads don't flow well at all, so if you want to start modding it your options are limited. If you want to mod a swapped civic there is no limit. Also there is maintenance, and availability of parts to consider. VTEC also allows for an economy cam profile and a performance cam profile.
I'm definitely biased, but for good reason. Hondas are great
