Default Top MPG for a neon?

What's the top MPG yall know of a Neon getting? I got a 1500 and yall know those aint nice at the gas pumps. love it to death though and ended up on the 1st gen neon so figured i'd pop a question to yall.

List the motor too cause idk squat about them. Unless someone has a 360 in a neon.

Averaging like 85 mph i can pull off 29 or 30 mpg through montana. Best i've gotten though is probably 33mpg highway with 4 people in my car. My car is always loaded down when i travel and I'm not the lightest on the gas pedal so... 96' neon 4dr 2.0 SOHC.

I got 41-42 driving 55 mph and putting it in neutral on hills, driving 55 really saves a lot of gas. on a 170 mile trip at 60mph i would use a half tank, at 55 i would use a quarter, just goes to show.
