I have an 04 SXT....not too many mods, just CAI, Exhaust, plugs, wires....think thats all I've done to my engine at least.

Anyway...I get about 28-30 in the city. On the highway I get about 35ish. I've found if you use cruise control on the highway your mileage drastically improves. At least it did for me.

Can a 1st gen cut in here?...

32-34 mpg mostly in town, 36-38 mpg mostly freeway. Got 42 mpg on one leg of a longer trip earlier this year (averaged 39 mpg for the entire 2000 mile trip).

'95, CAI, UDP, MPP PCM, UDP, PS header, Dynomax cat, 2.5" piping, Hooker Max Flow muffler, 14 lb alloys, summer tires, weight redux (down under 2400 with driver race ready).

Coming up on 240,000 miles...

2.0 2 go...what exactly is a "Mopar tuned ECU"? I didn't think Mopar was doing PCM's for the 2nd gens...

yea, i found out you can send it to certain places to get it reprogrammed for optimal performance. There is nothing out there except piggy back systems that you can do yourself. It requires someone to get into the ecu and fix stuff up. Mopar i heard does it (still figuring out that route) and then some company i found from neons.org on an article that you could send it too. The sad part is... that all the places require the car to BE at the shop while they tune the ECU. So... eh... yea...

2003 Dodge Neon R/T with 25,000 miles. Cold Air Intake, Borla Exhaust, stock 16" wheels, 90% highway driving. I use 89 octane (because even though the book says 91 octane, ITS STILL A NEON until i get a turbo or something in it!)
Oh sorry for the rant...anyways, i get about 34-36 with my 90%+ highway driving, and i drive my car hard.
