i have a 2004 dodge neon sxt and i went thru a full tank of gas in 150 miles can somebody tell me what the problem is i just had an oil change and recently installed a k & n air filter whether that makes a difference i dont know

 

were u gunning it a lot or driving the pedal near or to the floor, do u have bad spark plugs, drivin ghtrough traffic a lot etc.

 

Check the fuel filter. Once those things clog up, milage goes way down. You should also notce a lack of power.

If you have never changed it, check the service manual. I have found on most cars you need to change them at least according to the schedule, if not sooner. No telling about gas these days as the price goes up.

 

i dont really go that fast so i dont think thats it but i will check the fuel filter is it tough to get to also i noticed my car was all the way on empty and the fuel light was on but when i filled the car up i only could put in 9 gallons

 

Try another tank of gas and talk to me next week- THE DOCTOR



LOL

 

I recently bought a 2004 dodge neon sxt, also. My fule mileage is the same. I drive both city and freeway. And I don't gunn it. I only get about 179 mph in town and 220 on freeway. I should at the very least be getting some where around 320 on the freeway and 280 in town. Again it is a 12 gallon tank. And I have read the reviews and they say it should get 29mph in town and 36mph on the freeway. I think something is wrong. I'm taking it in to have them look at it.

Is yours under warranty? i would take it in.

leaky injectors?? 02 sensor?? is the car running in limp mode?
