Fuel mileage
I have a 2001 Plymouth neon automatic I picked up from the original owner with 33000 miles on it. It needed a little work from sitting but I got it running well and replaced the plugs wires cam sensor. I took it on a 1000 mile trip the last few days and I am in shock. I set the cruise control at 75 and drove 285 miles nonstop on the interstate. I checked the mileage and it got 38.7 mpg. Now I did not believe this at all so I checked it again after 205 miles but this time I had construction so some stop and go but not alot and it got 37.3 mpg. Still shocked so yesterday I was to return home and I thought I would check 1 last time and it got 38.2 mpg. I am pretty surprised it is an automatic too. I did not have the a/c on so I am sure it will drop in the hot summer. Anyway just thought I would share that.

This isn't real surprising, I have a few friends who get pretty close to those numbers with their 5-speed neons, and they drive them like they're stolen. I used to average 32mpg plus from my built 3.0/5-speed swapped Acclaim.
It's always nice to hear people getting great mileage from older vehicles, I always have.

I had the cruise set and no A/C on it is pretty much hard for me to believe thats why I checked it 3 times. I was lucky to stumble across this car.

I do like the savings I am sure it will drop in summer with the A/C on. I bought this car for my daughter she will be driving next year. However I am starting to wanna keep it.
