i have a 96 plymouth neon Expresso sedan 4cyl

i believe i have a 10 gallon tank not sure.. my first neon

i get like 180 miles to a tank ? is this normal now i know i have a bad o2 sensor could this be the problem ?

any help is helpful

thanks

 

you either have a 11 or a 12.5gal tank. depends on if its a metal or plastic tank....anywho. does seem a little low. on my MTX i get about 250 miles per tank and on our ATX we get about 220. get the o2 sensor fixed though and you should see an increase. on my MTX when i got it, it had a bad o2 sensor and i got about 25mpg. Got a new o2 sensor and bumped it up to about 30city and 40highway.

Also a lot depends on the way you drive. if you drive a lot of city then your mileage will suck. also if you have a lead foot then it will cause a decrease in your mileage.

 

thanks man, lol no led foot butill replace the o2 and hopefully that fixes it. i bought her cause of all the good gas milage stories lol. thanks a bunch.

 

If you have a DOHC engine they suggest you run premium in it if this is the case you might want to try runing premium in it as mine gets between 55-60 miles per tank more with premium in it which would equate to about 1.5 to 2 gallons of gas so the 1.50more it costs per tank is worth it but I also do mostly city driving so I might get more on the highway
