I was guessing it was a joke, but it was also a joke to run a tri-turbo supra and they tried it... now its a star car. But my car gets about 16-18mpg now (i know, thats really bad). im looking for at least 25 in the city out of my 3.1L and still open to any suggestions.

Average is 20/24 MPG's for your Monte so you have some room for improvement. I would start by changing plugs/wires/fuel,air,PCV filters, injector cleaning. Next thing I would do is run over to twilight zone and have them check for any DTC codes, you may have a sensor/valve that is not performing correctly.

I'd guess that the 3.1 makes considerably more hp and torque than a Honda 1.6, ya think?
Sounds like you need a tune up, get some better filters, replace your plugs. BTW I hope you werent serious about swapping a civic motor into a monte b/c that is shame to the Monte Carlo.
