When we were heading south, I think I was running an average of 75 mph with an auto tranny on the Interstate.

Tune ups seems to give a "Short lived" MPG boost for neons...the MPG will eventually go back

Yeah I get 30 in the city and 35 highway and mines an auto with 108,000 miles on her . I add high mileage stuff to the gas every so often to help her out a bit . Neons are awesome for gasmileage .

I know. That damn Vtec.

Tune ups can cost as cheap as you make them. Cheap spark plugs with fram air filter...probably do a $25 airfilter.

I personally have a K&N Filter, cheapy spark plugs and new pcv valve
