Default I'll bet...

All the American auto makers are regretting cutting all the fuel efficient cars out of thier line up. Cars like the Neon, the Geo Metro, Ford Festiva, etc etc. All these little crap box, fuel efficient cars need to make a come back with the way gas prices are going. Im getting 35/40 in my Neon, and my buddy with his Metro is getting damn near 45mpg.

Just my thoughts. Felt as though i needed to share them lol.

i only can get like 28 tops on the freeway in my atx, thats why im switching it to a mtx

my mtx on the other hand, gets between 40-43 on the freeway

the atx is horrible, if it was a 4 speed itd be a little better, but never as good as the mtx

also change the PCV valve. I thought to myself when changing the PCV valve; "how the fu*k is that going to do anything?" However it has changed a great deal. I have way better gas mileage now, than I had before

gas tanks are usually fatter, widder at the top and more rounded andangled at the bottom... hence they hold more fuel above the middle line than they do at the bottom.
