My best mpg in my SOHCATX is 41 mpg highway, no lie. I got 180 miles to the first quarter from full. This was of course driving 55 mph for a 3.5 hour trip and putting it in neutral going down hills

Did you refill the tank when it got to the 3/4 mark to find the actual gallons used? I don't know about Neons but a lot of the injected engines shut the injectors off when coasting.

running the car til it shuts of is also bad for the pump and injectors because it starts to suck up debris from the gas tank
