yea if your on the highway going under the speed limit will make people mad
but hay when gas was 4$ a gallon i made a lot of people mad BUT I GOT 45MPG YEA!!!!



p.s. i drive a 98 DOHC mtx no mods

 

dude how far do you drive? i have a 50mile comute i go about 70mph and still get 37mpg.

i dont whats up with my neon but i seam to be gitting alot more millage than every one els that has posted

whats up with that?

 

thats before i did my tune up... now she is pulling about 36mpg daily... i have a 20mile drive but some of its in town so its mixed driving... i stil have a couple sensors to replace cause i have a bit of a goofy idle and i think shes running a fair bit rich yet... going to pull plugs this weekend and check whats going on...

 

Tune ups, tire pressure, engine flush, coasting down hills, clean intake manifolds, and the variety of other methods that help keep mpg's up.

 

well that and some other things i got planned... i'm planning on swaping to a sohc tranny for the higher final drive ratio to drop the rpms down at highway speeds... also planning for an underdrive pulley... and deff an intake and a header... also possibly a few other things to get make the motor run more effiecently... going to try to get as close to 50mpg as i can with out driving like a jackass... so normal "lite footed" driving... driving the speed limit not slower.... so making it get as close to a usefull 50mpg... cause really whats the point of getting 50mpg if you gotta drive slower then hell and **** everybody off....

 

nothing rong with driving slow man. and you dont have to **** people off ether just take back roads. its very relaxing to slow down and take it easy sometimes.

 

^
Truth.

 

thank you Ghost Neon 2. truth be said too i drive 50 miles one way to work every day when i drive at 50mph it takes me about 1:15 hours at 70 it takes me about an hour
thats only 15 min

 

I have a '98 Expresso with DOHC,5 speed, home made CAI,under drive pulley and MOPAR PCM and at 70 MPH-75 MPH I get 38 MPG to 40 MPG consistently.

 

well i can either take the main roads and have it take 25mins to get to work or i can take the back roads and have it take 45 mins.... so my choice is driving the speedlimit and not pissing people off... besides the fact that driving the back roads adds about 10 miles to the drive... and countless more stop signs and what else which all hurts fuel milage... well the added miles don't but whats the point to driving the roads if i'm only getting a few mpg better when i'm adding more miles to my route.... don't make sense... like i said i'm going for a usefull 50mpg driving back and forth to work... which about 5-6miles is city driving and then about 10miles at 55mph and then about 5miles at 65.... so a lil bit of everything....
