I know the feeling, I went from a Jeep to my GTC with the Turbo II. I got an average of around 25 - 30MPG with the GTC. You could expect around the same. That is unless I decided to get happy with the gas.
As for the 2.5L engine, there is nothing wrong with it. The engine you have in that Daytona is a called the Turbo I. It has a 2.5L I4 with a non intercooled Garrett T3 turbo. It produces 150HP and 200 ft/lbs of torque. The 2.2L was an I4 as well except it had an intercooled Garrett T3 and produced around "a said" 174HP and 200 ft/lbs of torque. I have found differently though. Just check my sig for info on that of the LeBaron info thread in this forum.
The 2.5L is the same block as the 2.2L. The onjly differece is the head. They are both great engines to modify. If you do plan to modify it you will want to get your hands on either the A-555 or A568 tranaxle. Lert me know what you plan to do and I can load you down with info on modding your Daytona.
