i dunno what mine is. But when i go on to albuquerque (about 2 hours from here doing 10 over) i do a trip and back... starting from a full tank to a couple notches before a quarter of a tank[:-]

thats all that matters to me. Takes everyone else in the family a trip to the gas pump each way.

Wow thats really horrible gas mileage! I thought mine was bad when i jumped on it a lot but thats just aweful...
I know i run a bottle of system cleaner through my car every 3000 miles or so, and i like to get the fuel filter changed every time i get my oil changed, so maybe if you do those things you'll start to get better gas mileage. But if hat doesnt help at all i think you might have a problem with your neon, cuz i think a Hummer gets better gas mileage than you do!

no joking about the milage. i was amazed at how well the milage is with the manual trans. i've seen about 38 mpg hwy with my car. of course, i was using as little throttle as possible and really paying attention to the odometer. around town, i get about 300 miles before the light comes on. my car has 40k on it and i've owned it since new.
