Leave the SBC and flat6 conversions out of this.
Who has swapped a different engine into a 914? Something Japanese, great mpg? |

Mine had 195x65x15 all season tires. I'm sure with some better tires, some weight reduction and careful driving, it would have been a 42 ish mpg car. Which really isn't bad considering it's not hard to find a stock 1.7 for ~$500. For most people, greater than 40 mpg isn't really an issue because very few people will use a 914 as a daily driver. So if you drive it a couple thousand miles per year, the difference in gas expense won't add up to much.
