A sucky 22-25 and the car is mechanically sound. I drive like a grandma, my tires are at the proper pressure so I don't know what can be wrong. It's a 2002 SE

Now that you mention it my tire/wheel set is way different, so it can be a reason for my low gas mileage. I run 205/50/17. Heavy 17" alloy wheels and a wider contact patch than what you are running.

I have a 2001 rt and im getting about 22 or 24, but I do pizza delivery, so rough driving and mixed highway/ city but alot of neighborhoods and stop lights. I need new spark plugs though. Any recommendations on mileage improving mods, because I drive about 100 miles a day they will actually pay for themselves quickly.

when u get plugs get wires too, unless there new. try a high performance air filter. u can get a cheap one at o'riellt for like $25 and there washable, so u never have to by a new one. also the stock filter is a 2 inch and the spectre is 3 inch...I went to menards and bought a rubber piece with hose clams for $3 it works...

28-30 city, 35-38 highway. I drive the **** like I stole it but keep up with PM religiously. Plugs get changed every 3 months or so, run injector cleaner every month or 2 and I clean the air filter when it's too dirty. Just put a Home Depot CAI on it this weekend so I'll burn through a tank before figuring out what my mileage is. Only things done to the car before this weekend were high flow air filter and cut off muffler. I have the 3 speed auto too.
