at the 20 I got it was $58.
In the civic ? $28.
Thats a savings of $30 a week, or $120 a month.. thats huge !..
I loved my STi, and I'll own one again (actually probably just pick up a swapped 2.5RS eventually) but right now I am far far more comfortable in the civic and so is my wallet

i even looked into getting a 87 tune, putting the boost as low as it would go and tuning it for economy. Everywhere I read said it wouldnt do a whole lot and that if you wanted economy, buy a civic. Makes sense to me.. LOL

Zate,
You have the right idea just the wrong implementation!
I too also hated what the STi was costing gas wise and made the decision a longgggg time ago to get a gas sipper. Like one year after getting the STi. 
But I kept the STi.
I've "upgraded" from my 93 Accord 5 speed I bought 3 years ago to a 93 Civic Vx hatch. That thing is GREAT on gas. A 15 year, gasoline only car, rated at 45 city, 56 highway! 
The best part is the "challenge" of getting as good a mileage as possible. I still don't have it tuned right but it gets high 30s low 40s in town or on the highway all day long. Best I ever did was in town, shutting off at lights (when the weather was nice). 50 mpg. Take that Op*ick, I mean Opec!
The best part? The dichotomy. After going from a 2044 pound, 93 hp, 1800 rpm shifting putt putt to the 3400 pound, 370 hp, shift at 6500 rpm beast is a BLAST!
Anyway, glad to hear you're going to get back in it eventually.
Btw know the other way to really stick it to Opr*ck? Bicycle. Did you know the human body on a bicycle gets the combustion engine equivalent of 300 mpg???? And zero emissions to boot! Well as long as you're not eating Mexican as fuel. lol

yep thats it. Amazing, they were reluctant to give me the price they gave me, which was less than i really wanted and then they go and put it up for $32K.. LOL
it is in really good condition though, never modified, daily driven, no problems at all.
