its always good to keep your car maintained...though i dont and it now has 144,000 miles on it...though still gets good milage

my wife and i deliver newspapers at nite, then come home and sleep, then get up and deliver for a different newspaper....so i do alot of driving...my wife drives almost 300 miles a day for work......none of this milage includes goin anywhere...this is just goin to work and comming home and parking the car

we spend about $1500.00 a month just on gas....so im glad the prices went down

 

05 sxt intake underdrive pulley i get about 29mpg and i "get on it" alot, but when i first got it i had one tank where i got like 36mpg, but just that once.

 

I've beengetting between 23-26 mpg in my '05 Neon SXT w/auto in mixed driving but mostly in town. Honestly, I was fairly dissapointed. I figured I'd get quite a bit better than my old '94 Tempo. Last trip in that car was a trip to Myrtle Beach from Ohio inthis past June. I hit about 28 mpg, but the ol'beast has 178k on it.And she still runs strong with no leaking or oil burning.

Well I finally got it out for some mostly highway driving and after I refilled and calculated the mileage, I hit 36 mpg. I like that a lot better. And that was driving anyhwhere from 45-75 mph due to construction in some areas and a bit of speeding in others. I can handle the lower mileage betternow that I know what this car is capable of for upcoming vacations.

I've got a 2001 Neon ES with a 5spd MTX and no mods. I've had it since june and so far i haven't dropped below 30MPG. My average between city and highway is probably 33 or 34, i had 37 when i filled up last night. I just use regular 87 octane and non synthetic oil, but i do drive pretty moderately, i go easy on the gas most of the time.

 

da most i got i believe was 32 mpg. and dats wen i drove to south cal

 

Ever since I moved to my new apartment I've been driving 100% city driving, and its coming out to about 22mpg...

 

With or without the A/C?

Welcome to my world...and it's even worst when i'm with my girl. (AC on full blast)

 

Most of my driving was with the A/C running too. But I'll really give her the test here soon. The wife and I are heading back to Myrtle Beach in 3 weeks. That will definitely give a good gauge on the potential MPG I can squeeze out of this car.

Older thread, I have over 32,000, run Mobil 1 oil and still get 36-38 average in mixed driving in a rural area.

Runs like a champ, plenty of power. 05 SXT 5 speed.
