Like I said when I posted a thread earlier about finding Florida Neons, I was leaving the state for a little bit. Well I left the state and I'm driving to Maryland (Waldorf) to deal with some business and as always when I'm travelling I log everything to make my checks and make sure everything is working great. I like to determine the average fuel mileage at every fill up.

When I started off I was driving casual and going with the flow . Mainly 65-80mph ... the 1st stop the average was 40.25 mpg's

2nd stop I was driving aggresively to see what the difference would be, 75-85mph .. the average came up 34mpg's ..

I guess you could say I had to tell someone. I am amazed by the mileage I'm getting. All hail the Neon Woooooo Hooooooo

 

If on the highway, they do pretty good under most conditions.

 

Yes neons are awesome for gas mileage mine gets like around whats yours does for having now 198,000 miles on mine she still does awesome with gas mileage.

 

how many miles do you get on a tank of gas?

 

-Wow, you get way better than I do. I usually average about 30-32 mpg on the highway. Except for vacation driving that is. Then I can get it up to slightly above 37 mpg.

My fuel guage is reading a little funny ... From what I understand the Neon should have a 12.5 gallon tank. When I hit a 1/4 tank I pulled an exit and hit a gas station and I only took 6.8 gallons ... With it reading funny I'm a bit nervous to let it get past the 1/4 mark.

Normally in the city driving I get about 30 mpg's ... Now driving with a combination of city & Hwy with careful driving (gradual exceleration and stopping) I can pull an average of 35mpg's ...

 

city and a little highway for me i get about 220 miles on 3/4 tank which is around 25 mpg.

 

My sxt last yr when I went to st louis she got like 40 mpg and will be going to kansas city next week so will see how much shes gets than. Around the city she gets around 34mpg.

 

With my 2000 neon, I get about 26 city miles, doing delivery service. I'm not sure what I get on the highway yet.

Bear in mind, that is with a horrible alignment that will be getting fixed soon, so the city MPG should go up by 1 or 2 after I get it aligned. Right?

 

...and you'll stop putting excessive wear on certain parts.
